Notes

  1. Pasta can be cooked in water according to package instruction and milk can be added to the cooked pasta
  2. I have used elbow pasta but any pasta of your choice can be used
  3. Saffron can be added for extra flavor
  4. For pasta cooked in water add evaporated milk like semiya payasam to boost flavor 
  5. I have used all-purpose-flour pasta but wheat pasta can also be used but the flavour might vary
  6. Avoid flavored pasta for kheer
  7. If you are adding condensed milk for extra flavor adjust sugar accordingly
  8. I sometimes caramelize the sugar and add it to the payasam
