Ingredients for Paal Payasam Recipe 

• 1/4 cup Basmati ( or any kind)
• 1 litre of milk (4 cups approximately)
• 1/2 cup sugar 1 tbsp ghee 3 cardamom pods
• 1 cup cashews

Cooking Method

Step 1) Wash the rice and place it in a blender. Pulse it a few times to break it up into 2 to 3 pieces, but do not powder it.

Step 2) Melt the ghee in a pan or pressure cooker and sauté the rice for a few minutes on low heat before adding the milk and stirring once. Cover the cooker and cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing for a whistle in between. Cook on medium for 25 minutes, stirring regularly, if using an open pot.

Step 3) After 25 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release before adding the sugar and cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes. Finally, add cardamom and some roasted nuts (cashews and ghee).

Remove from the heat after thoroughly mixing.
