Paal Payasam / Easy Rice Kheer in a Pressure Cooker

Wishing all my Malayali

readers A Very Happy Vishu!

I made this payasam

yesterday intending to post the recipe in the evening. When it was time to take

pictures our weather God was so kind that a sand storm started ruining our

entire photo shoot so we had to take the pictures today :P..... This is a very

quick Paal (milk) Payasam which will be ready in half an hour and is ideal for

festivals or if you are planning a big party and want to make a large quantity

of something quick and delicious.

chopped

In a big pressure cooker mix

washed rice, sugar, nuts and milk and stir well until sugar dissolves.

Close the

lid of the cooker and when the steam starts place the weight and completely

lower the flame and let it cook for ½ hour.

When the steam drops down, open the

cooker and if the payasam is very thick add little more milk and give it a boil

and turn off the heat.Your payasam is ready.

Serve hot or cold.

Note:

Payasam tends to thicken

as it cools down, add boiled milk if you wish thinner consistency.

You can also add a little cardamom

powder at the final stage, though it’s not mentioned in the actual recipe.

Use a big pressure cooker

to make this payasam or it is likely to over flow.
