Payasam aka Kheer- Indian Dessert

Ingredients:

• Basmati Rice.[because it is easy to cook]
• Sugar- To taste.
• Milk- 500 ml [for 3-4 cups]
• Water- A tea cup
• Ghee- 3 tbs
• Raisins and Cashew nuts- 15-20 nos each

Danger Level: mild

Skill level: Be the master of your Kettle

Preparation:

For success of this preparation you should give your utmost care and concentration to the preparation. The preparation starts with cooking the rice. For normal preparation, we clean the rice and cook it with milk instead of water. But in a kettle it’s quite risky so. Cook the rice as mentioned in the post cooking rice but make sure that you didn’t add salt. Strain the rice and keep it aside. Now pour the milk and water into the kettle and allow it to warm and add rice to it. Add sugar to taste and allow the milk to boil. Make sure that you allow the milk to boil for 3-4 times by over riding the auto cutoff. Use a spoon to continuously stir the contents. Make sure that nothing stick to the bottom. Using a spoon aka spatula, check the rice by mashing it with fingers. If its soft and easy to mash. Check for the sugar. If that too is okay, part one is completed.

Now pour the contents to a bowl and clean the kettle. Now add 3 table spoon of Ghee to kettle and allow it to melt, then add raisins and cashew nuts to it and allow it cook till the raisins pop and cashew nuts turn to brown color. We will need to override the auto cut off many a times to get these things cooked to exact texture. Once it is ready switch of the kettle and pour the contents prepared in part one to the kettle. Kheer aka Payasam is ready [if everything went well :)]

Even though this is mentioned as a dessert you can have this as a meal too. It all depends on how hungry you are. Wish you a happy cooking with kettle.

Time: 

Heavily depended on your skill level. This is not something for the beginners, if you have successfully prepared all other recpies I have mentioned earlier, you will be able to do this too.
