My grandma is very famous in making this payasam in our family. She never uses condensed milk or milkmaid to make this. I strictly followed her recipe today.
Ingredients:-
- Rice - 1 cup
- Milk (fat free + 2%milk) - 6 cups
- Sugar - 3 cups (acc to taste)
- Pachakarpooram
- Cardamom - a pinch

First wash the rice and put it in a pressure cooker. Add 3 cups milk and pressure cook it under medium flame upto 5 whistles. Make sure the rice is fully mashed.
