I am sharing a rice kheer/ pal payasam without using condensed milk and made with very commonly available ingredients milk as the main ingredient. I have used basmati rice for this payasam but we can use any kind of rice to make it. Hope you guys will enjoy it. Have a yummy day!
Heat a tsp of ghee and fry the basmati rice for a few minutes. Do not over fry until it turns brown.
Pour the milk to a heavy-bottomed pan with 1 cup of water and bring it to boil . Once the milk boils, add the sugar and simmer until it reduces to half.
Add the fried rice and continue to cook on very low flame, stirring frequently until the milk thickens further and the rice is cooked soft.
Add the soaked saffron and cardamom powder and switch off the flame. Garnish with chopped nuts. Remove and serve warm / chilled.
