Creamy Rice Payasam

Rice payasam is a traditional dessert prepared by slowly cooking rice in milk with sugar, cardamom and roasted nuts.

Rice, Full cream milk, Sugar, Cardamom, Cashew nuts, Raisins, Ghee, Saffron

Wash the rice thoroughly. Add rice and milk to a heavy-bottomed pan and cook slowly on low heat. Stir regularly to prevent the milk from sticking. When the rice becomes soft and the milk becomes creamy, add sugar and continue cooking. Add crushed cardamom and saffron. Fry cashews and raisins in ghee and add them to the payasam. Serve warm or chilled.
