    Paal payasam | Rice Kheer | Milk Payasam | Best Paal payasam with step by step pictures and video. Check out the paal payasam video recipe and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel Rich and tasty Paal payasam prepared with Rice and milk. Usual milk payasam takes a long time to cook this delicious rice payasam is cooked with a shortcut but no compromise in taste.   Whole fat milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk give yummy flavor to Rice Kheer. I start drooling whenever I think about the rice kheer my mom makes. One of my favorite desserts ever since childhood days. Rice kheer was my first choice for the special delicacy that I get on birthdays when I was a kid. More than me my sister loves Paal payasam. Whenever I cook milk Kheer these days I always wish I could send her a big cup. I have enjoyed milk kheer all through my life but when it comes to cooking it I took a step back after knowing the procedure.  When we moved to the U.K. I wanted to cook paal payasam for Diwali, called my Amma for the recipe. It sounded lengthy for me so I ended up doing Semiya payasam. Every time I think about paal payasam the lengthy method scares me. My recent addiction for pressure cooker made me give an attempt with a pressure cooker. I first tried cooking rice payasam in cooker but somehow I felt something was missing. I didn't get the Milk Kheer color. Usually milk is cooked hours together and the color is easily achieved. I was looking for some alternative way for quick paal payasam. I started using evaporated milk a lot in my cooking.  While making gravy instead of heavy cream, I add evaporated milk. After using evaporated milk for peas gravy I thought why not use it for payasam. Since we are using evaporated milk and condensed milk you can also call it semi-homemade payasam😊 It worked like a magic. Tres leches cakes taste great with three milk, this is Indian rich tasty take with whole fat milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk.  Sometimes pictures don't justify a dish, I have proved it with my payasam. Payasam tastes super delicious I couldn't succeed to show it with my clicks. Try this rich payasam. Paal payasam occupies a special role in Tamil Brahmin weddings and Kerala sadhya.

    Notes

    1. You can use Basmati Rice instead of Raw Rice
    2. Saffron can be used for extra flavor
    3. Condensed milk makes Milk Kheer thicker over time so adjust the consistency accordingly
    4. Paal payasam can be cooked directly in the pan but it takes a longer time
    5. Paal payasam can also be cooked in the instant pot. Saute the rice in saute mode and cook milk and rice for 18 minutes at a high temperature. continue the remaining process in saute mode
    6. Heavy cream can be added for richness
    7. Adjust the milk according to the consistency you desire
    8. Pulsing the rice gives a nice texture to the payasam. Avoid making the rice into powder 
    9. Cardamom powder can be added for extra flavor
    10. If desired add nuts of your choice for extra flavor
    11. Depending on the rice, milk quantity may vary slightly. If you think Payasam is turning thick add 1/2 - 1 cup milk extra.
