RICE PAYASAM RECIPE
RICE PAYASAM RECIPE
INDIAN PUDDING, KHEER
Traditionally, Rice Payasam takes an ample amount of time, for preparation. And with the working women, it is really impossible to get in the mood for dishing out recipes that consume so much of their time.
My own Sister-in-law is a working lady and has only one day off. So it is least expected to expect any kind of deserts, on the weekends.
However, my Recipe Rice Payasam is targeted to those Ladies, who always are ahead by 2 hours than the normal time frame. And as it is a favourite with Kids too, so have it made the easiest way. Not only the Ingredients but the preparation takes only 20 minutes , that can fit to any Lunch menu or Dinner Menu, have it simply with Sabudana Khichdi and Dahi Baingan, and if have ample time,with Ghanta tarkari, see, so easy, that is really hard to find in anything Indian….. But, this is Indian cooking made easy!
So let’s have a look:
