pal payasam

Method

In a deep bottomed kadai (we usually use uruli for making payasam) or in cooker add 1 1/2 Lil of milk ,2 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar .

Cook them in a very low flame .Stir well occasionally .

Cook this milk till its become 1/2lit .

By that time u can see  a light pink colour   .

Now add washed rice with 3 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar .(if the rice is very big just crush )

Stir occasionally. Cook till the right consistency of ur choice ..

If u want u can add cardamom powder and roasted cashew nuts ..So the tasty payasam is ready to serve(we are getting the pink shade because we are making the 11/2 lil milk to half lil by cooking it in low flame .

This is the secret behind the taste also .So if u want the authentic payasam please show patience  and take time and make like this  ) otherwise u can try another method( If u are too busy )
