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.
