🇮🇳 Indian

A bowl of payasam — slow milk, ghee, jaggery, and the quiet pride of a job done patiently. About 50 minutes from fridge to table.

Rice2 cups
Milk3 cups
Jaggery1 cup
Green Cardamom3

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

1
Roast the main lightly in ghee until it smells like a festival kitchen.
2
Simmer it in milk (or coconut milk) until soft and the liquid turns creamy.
3
Melt the jaggery or sugar through on a low flame — no boil after jaggery or it turns grainy.
4
Finish with cardamom, fried cashews and raisins; serve warm.

Chef's tip

Ghee first, sweetness later — sugar too early toughens milk solids.
