Paal Payasam Recipe

Well this is an adapted version of a recipe that I read some where. I tried it as an experiment and it was awesome. I made 3 payasams for our this year's (2009) onam. Adapradhaman, aval payasam and pal payasam. Everyone liked pal payasam more than the others.
Here it goes.
Take one glass of redrice (matta rice)
I would recommend to wash the rice and soak it a while so that it becomes easy to cook. Otherwise some brands are difficult to cook well. anyways it's upto your choice.

Cook rice with enough milk (instead of water use the same amount of milk) in a cooker. (you can cook it as usual with closed lid and whistle) Once its cooked open the lid and add enough sugar and boil for some more time. This makes the payasam more tasty. The more it boils, the better. You can add milk if you require. Once you feel the rice is cooked properly then add 1 medium size tin condensed milk and boil for 3-4 minutes. Add crushed cardamoms and put off the fire. Heat ghee and fry cashew nuts and raisins in golden colour and garnish.

My family and friends loved it. Hope you will love this too.
