Palada Payasam

Steg 1

Soak the rice ada in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a heavy-bottomed pan, boil the milk on low heat. Add the soaked rice ada and simmer until the ada is cooked and soft. Add sugar and crushed cardamom pods. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. In a separate pan, heat ghee and fry the cashew nuts and raisins until golden. Add the fried nuts and raisins to the payasam. Simmer for a few more minutes until the payasam thickens slightly. Serve hot or cold, garnished with more nuts if desired.
