Fusion payasam recipe
Both my husband and I love pasta, and nowadays even my little one started liking Mac & Cheese. Every time I open a pasta packet I wouldn't finish it and have some leftovers. To finish the remaining uncooked pasta, I end up buying some variety of pasta again. Another day I felt like having semiya payasam and searched for semiya, suddenly pasta pulled my attention, and tried pasta payasam. It was a big hit at home.
What kind of pasta works for Pasta payasam?
I have used Elbow variety of pasta which is my favorite type for pasta payasam. If you are using other big-size pasta it might take a little longer time to cook. For spaghetti-type pasta I would recommend breaking it for the best taste.Can I cook pasta in water for pasta payasam?
Yes, you can cook pasta in water according to package instructions and add milk to the cooled pasta. To make pasta kheer rich and delicious I personally prefer cooking pasta in milk.Can I add evaporated milk /condensed milk for Pasta payasam like your paal payasam?
Of course yes, that will definitely add some richness to the payasam recipe. If you are using evaporated milk reduce the milk quality accordingly. if you are using condensed milk reduce sugar accordingly

- I have used all-purpose-flour pasta but wheat pasta can also be used but the flavour might vary
- Avoid flavored pasta for kheer
