Milk payasam

A very easy & simple dessert, but truly a winning recipe for milk lovers. The procedure for this dessert is very simple, but it takes hours & hours if cooked in the traditional way. I have included my trick to speeden up the process and cook it the easy way.

Here is the recipe

Ingredients
1 litre vitamin D milk ( to give a more creamy texture)
2 tbsp basmati rice
1 small can (5 oz) evaporated milk
sugar to taste
cardamom powder to garnish

Method
  • Heat milk with the washed rice in a heavy bottom vessel. Once it boils, simmer the heat to low. Let the milk reduce in quantity while simmering for about 45 minutes. Keep stirring at regular intervals.
  • Add the evaporated milk now and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. This is the trick to speed up the process.
  • Add sugar as per taste and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
  • Milk payasam is ready to serve hot. Garnish with the cardamom powder on top.
