It was Saturday and we were just spending time as we had to go for Sangeet Dance Practice of Tinaz so decided to try Payasam - a recipe of which I had seen in my niece's English Textbook Magnolia 3. A delicious, creamy, rice and milk pudding with cashews and raisins. Payasam is a South Indian dessert, a version of Kheer, made on various festivals and celebratory occasions like Onam. A simple, fuss-free recipe with richness of nuts and goodness of milk. Payasam is often offered as 'prasadam' in various temples and pujas across the country. This payasam recipe is the easiest and simplest. With a luscious creamy layer, garnished with nuts, you might just need no reason at all to make this other than a heart indulgence!
