  1. Thanks for the recipe! I have prepared payasam with plantains but now I will try this it seems to be a more filling dish from the description. Your culture is simply intoxicating! Thank you for sharing 🙂 greetings from ??

  2. Hii, Dassana will u suggest instead of sugar can i add milkmaid in it will it taste good or not….

    1. shweta, if using condensed milk, then use it with milk. it will taste good. but cook the rice first in water + milk. once the rice is cooked, then add the condensed milk. so for 3 tbsp rice, you can use 1/2 litre of milk (2 cups milk) + 1 cup water or overall 3 cups milk. if required you can always add more milk. when the grains are almost cooked, then add the condensed milk. you can add 1/3 cup which i guess will be enough and not making the payasam too sweet. also in case the payasam becomes very sweet, then you can always add some more hot milk to reduce the sweetness.

  3. I try it today and it is amazing 😀
    I will eat everything I have. Fantastic recipe. I give into it a cinnamon and it taste really good 🙂
    Thank you :):):)5 stars

  4. Hi Dasana,
    looks awesome…will definately try this one. I tried most of your recipes and all turn out just awesome…I don’t have to modify it at all, specially with respect to dessert the amount of sugar that you mentioned in your recipes works best for our family.

    Thanks a ton for posting new recipes.

    A small request if you can include how to make dhoda at home in future…would be great !!5 stars

    1. welcome shipra. glad to know this. thanks for sharing your positive feedback. i had dhoda many times (from Om Sweets, Sec 14 – Gurgaon) but i don’t know how to make it at home. i will have to try the recipe at home first.

      1. Hi Dassana,

        yes me too have it many times from Om sweets – Gurgaon. Now I moved to Singapore and really miss it on our festivals. So thought to ask you if you are aware of how to make it. I am sure you would be able to figure out and post that soon. Good luck with trying at home and hope to hear from you soon.

        1. shipra, whenever our relatives come from gurgaon, they always get a pack of dhodha, patisa and petha. for dhodha i know the ingredients but never given a try. so lets see if i can try the recipe and then post. thanks. hope the trial is a good one and not a disaster 🙂

  7. Wanted to share few suggestions regarding the preparation of payasam, since I am from kerala 🙂 Try to use small variety of rice for this. Basaltic has a flavour and smell which might change the taste and aroma of the final product. There is absolutely no need of ghee in this recipe. I am just telling you the traditional style. Any modifications can be made as per personal tastes. Usually the raw rice is added to boiling milk and let it cook in that milk. The milk will also reduce in quantity. Once the rice is cooked, you can add sugar. Traditionally there are no flavoring agents added, no dry fruits too. But again, it is all about personal taste. Sorry for the long post!

    1. no problem about the long post karthika. i know about the kerala payasam. ghee is not added and the kerala rice is used. this recipe is the tamil version. thats why ghee is added. in kerala i had rice payasam with the kerala red rice, but flavorings were added in that one. we also had ada pradhaman and all of us liked it. i will try to get ada here and make the payasam. i just want to know what is basaltic? i think its an spelling mistake and you meant some other word. btw basaltic comes from the word basalt which is a type of rock.

      1. Oh my God,that was a typo 😀 Auto corrected.. so sorry!I meant basmati. And sorry I misunderstood it to be kerala payasam 🙂 I thought my post didn’t get uploaded. There was some error while submitting it.

        1. the auto correct typo happens with many readers 🙂 its fine karthika. no problem. i will add the kerala payasam also in some time. sometimes while adding due to slow internet or the website speed, the comment form gives an error. sometimes the comments go in the spam and then i manually unspam all the comments.

  9. 1 Can we add milk maid in the recipe , Dassana ji .
    2 Do we have to strain or keep rice some time in water ?
    Thanks alot
    Sorry for bothering.

    1. no issues. yes you can add milkmaid. but then do not add sugar. you can add about 1/3 cup of milkmaid. no need to soak the rice in water. but for a quick cooking, you can soak the rice for about 20 to 30 minutes. then drain them well and dry them in a kitchen towel. also if you want you can rinse the rice and then dry them in a kitchen towel, before sauteing in ghee.
