Pal payasam (paal payasam)or rice milk pudding is a very classic Kerala dessert prepared during celebrations and festival seasons. Also paal payasam is a must needed dish in onasadhya / Kerala feast.
Ingredients:
Method:
Milk - 3ltrs
Dried red rice or Pon I Rice- 180gm (1/2 cup or 9 tablespoon)
Sugar - 700gm
Water - 4.5 ltrs
Preparation:
First Boil the milk and water. When it boils, add the washed rice in it. Keep cooking on medium high flame. Because of the large quantity of water used, the milk will not bubble over. Just make sure to have a wooden spatula. You need not keep stirring all the time. Once in 5 minutes is perfectly fine.
The milk mixture will start evaporating and reducing in volume. The milk mixture would have approximately reduced by half after 30-40 minutes. Keep stirring once in a while.
After about one hour and 15 minutes, the mixture would have become creamy in colour and thicker in consistency.
Add sugar and mix well. Let it boil for 2 minutes.
You can add 1 tsp ghee( not necessary).
Serve hot
