Total time: 25 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Milk - 2.5 cups ( 1/2 litre) Basmati rice or raw rice - 3 tbsp/9 tsp Sugar – 1/3 cup ( 1/2 cup for more sweetness)  Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp Ghee - 1 tbsp Cashews - to roast

METHOD

Heat 1 tsp of ghee and roast the rice till it puffs up slightly.Grind it coarsely.Make sure you don’t powder the rice.It should be just broken into two.So pulse twice for short time. Boil milk in a small pressure cooker. Add a small plate or spoon to avoid spilling & burning of milk.When the milk starts to boil,add the rice. Pressure cook it in very low flame for 2-3 whistles.Open the cooker after the steam is released.Mix well and boil the milk.Remove the plate using a ladle. Add sugar,stir well and boil for sometime to thicken the payasam slightly.Add cardamom powder.Do not over boil because this payasam will thicken as time proceeds.So let it be watery. Roast the cashews in 2 tsp of ghee and add to the payasam.Mix well and enjoy !

Note

Adding more rice makes the payasam to become pongal.So add the mentioned quantity of rice. Adjust the quantity of sugar based on your taste.Add 1/4 cup for less sugar & 1/2 cup for more. You can also add saffron threads soaked in warm milk.It will give a nice flavor & color to this payasam.
