Steps to Cook Payasam
- Wash 1/4 cup of rice in water till it looks clean.
- Boil 1/2 litre (one packet) of milk in a thick-bottomed pot.
- Add the rice to the boiling milk and stir gently. If you’re a little worried about adding the rice to the hot milk, use a ladle or spoon to stir it into the pot gently.
- Cook the rice on low heat till it becomes soft. Keep stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick.
- Once the rice is cooked, add sugar and stir till it melts. Ask an elder how much sugar your family likes. Usually, equal quantities of rice and sugar work well.
- Simmer the payasam for a few more minutes, and you’re done!
