Pal payasam/Kheer/rice pudding is an exclusive Indian dessert mostly prepared during festive occasions. As I had mentioned in my previous mail that vadai and payasam is certainly made during any Tamil festival. I had made this payasam for Deepavali lunch.
There are various ways people prepare this dessert. Some use precooked rice and then add it to the milk. Some use soaked rice and then cook it along with the milk. I prepared it in a slightly different manner, something like phirni(north indian dessert) and it tasted great. Pal payasam is always the yummiest dessert no matter how you prepare it!
So here's how I prepared it.
Ingredients-
Rice- 1/2 cup
Milk- 500 ml
Sugar- 1 cup
Cashews- 5
Almonds- 5
Ghee-1tsp
MTR badam feast- 1tbsp(optional)
Method-
Soak the rice for an hour and then grind it to a coarse paste. Soak the almonds and cashews seperately. Deskin the almonds. Now grind the nuts also to a coarse paste, maybe you could leave some bits of nuts as it is. Heat a pan and add ghee. Fry the nuts till they turn golden brown and then add rice paste and stir for a minute.
Boil the milk and then add the rice paste along with the nuts and sugar. Keep stirring till the rice gets cooked and the volume of milk slightly reduces and the whole mixture thickens. Add Mtr badam feast if you are adding and stir for a minute. Remove from flame.
Serve hot or chilled.

I made a similar one for navarathri. Ground some coconut along with rice. This is a nice twist to our own pal payasam.
Soaking the rice and grinding is new to me. Looks good!

Amazing! I just came from a French blog and read a rice pudding with creme anglaise. Each country has it's own rice pudding and I think all rice puddings are delicious.
