Rice paayasam (kheer)



This is also called as "Paalpaayasam" in Kerala.If you have surprise guests at home you can try this as it is very easier to make and tastier too.


Recipee:
Broken rice -1 cup
Milk-1 ½ to 2  litre
Sugar - 4 spatula (I have used the curry spatula for measurement)
Milkmaid - 4tbspn ( if milkmaid is not there then add 1 spatula more of sugar and also 2-3 tspn of ghee)
Cardamom (seed crushed) -3 nos
Cashew nuts -roasted for decoration

In a pressure cooker add Washed rice and 3 cups (approximately 1/2 litre) of milk ( 1:3 ratio). Add sugar. Pressure cook for 4-5 whistles or cook for 25- 30 minutes in very low flame. Once it is cooled add the remaining 1/2 litre of milk, milkmaid, and stir till it thickens. Pour the remaining ½ litre of milk  towards the end. Add crushed cardamom seeds and roasted cashew nuts to decorate. Heat 1 tspn of sugar in a pan and make caramel and pour it on to the paayasam for getting that pink colour .Keep on stirring for few more minutes till you get that pinkish ,thick and yummy Paalpaayasam
