Arisi Payasam (Rice payasam)

Arisi Payasam or Rice Payasam  is a rich delicacy prepared with Milk and Rice.. It takes little time to prepare.. But the taste is extra-ordinary. Try this mouth watering payasam and surprise your dear ones.. 

Recipe follows...

Ingredients:

Basmathi Rice          - 1/4 cup

Boiled Milk              - 5 cups

Brown Sugar               - 1/4 cup

Cashew Nuts            - 6 or 8

Raisins                     - 6 or 8

Ghee                        - 3 tbsp

Procedure:

• Wash Basmathi Rice... Heat little oil in  a heavy bottomed vessel. I normally use my heavy bottomed cooker. Add rice to the cooker. Saute well.
• Add boiled milk to the rice. Cook it in medium flame.
• I would suggest to drop a small plate in the payasam while its cooking, so that milk won't overflow and come out.
• Keep on stirring in between.
• When the rice is half-done, add brown sugar. If you don't have brown sugar, can use plain sugar as well
• Keep on stirring in between. When the rice is completely cooked, we are done with our payasam.
• If you want the payasam to be more thick, cook it for some more time and if you want the payasam to be little watery, add some more milk.
• Saute Cahew nuts and Raisins in Ghee and add to Payasam.
• Your delicious payasam is ready..
