Notes

  1. Adjust the milk according to your taste. The color & flavor of this kheer may slightly vary based on the color of caramel also the sugar
  2. Avoid burning the caramel as it will make the payasam bitter
  3. Cook the caramel at low flame and turn off the flame immediately after it is formed else it might crystalize
  4. Always use hot milk
  5. Cooked Semiya, rice, sago, etc. can be added to sago payasam
  6. Adjust the sugar according to your taste. the color of the payasam depends on the amount of sugar
  7. Boiling the kheer for a longer time will result in thick payasam
  8. Instead of sugar, Jaggery can use for caramel refer caramel Phool makhana
