PAAL PAYASAM

Paal payasam is such an easy dessert that can be prepared easily and is perfect on all festival occasion. This is served as prasadam in most of our temple feast. My favourite god is lord Krishna and I prepared this on" krishna Jayanthi". As we all know lord kirshna is very fond of milk products and the most he likes is the Butter and so we call him "Makhan chor". For the payasam , I used basmati rice here. Instead of that you can also use red rice too. But cooking time differs as it takes long to cook the red rice.



INGREDIENTS.

11/2 litre Milk.

1 cup Sugar.

1/4 cup Basmati rice.

1 tsp Cardamom powder.

Saffron a pinch.

GARNISH.

1 tbs Ghee.

Chopped badams.


METHOD.

Wash the rice thrice and keep it aside.

In a vessel, heat milk, saffron and bring it to boil. Add rice and simmer for about 1 hour till the rice is cooked and the milk gets reduced in quantity.

Add sugar and stir till the sugar dissolves.

Meanwhile in another pan heat ghee and fry badams till it becomes golden brown.

Once payasam is ready, garnish it with fried badams and cardomom powder.

Serve hot or cold.




AWARDS TIME.

YASMEEN again has given me a new award ''FRIENDSHIP BLEND AWARD'' that is served in a 4 cups. Each cups has its own value naming TRUST , KIDNESS , HONESTY , AND CARING.
