Kerala Paal Payasam
Slow-cooked until the milk reduces and turns a gentle pink, this payasam is pure comfort in a bowl. Every Kerala celebration ends with a payasam like this — rich, sweet, and fragrant with cardamom.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 10 cup Milk
- 2 Dsp Brown broken rice
- 1/2 A Condensed milk
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Cashew nut sliced lengthwise
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder (Elakka)
Preparation
Step 1
Mix 2 cups of water and 2 cups of milk and boil.

Step 4
When it thickens, add cashewnuts and stir continuously till it becomes quick thick.

Tip
Never rush the milk reduction by increasing the heat. Scorched milk adds a bitter undertone that ruins the entire payasam.
