Paal payasam recipe (Milk kheer) Gokulashtami recipes – Easy to make yet delicious payasam/ kheer recipe for Kutti Krishnan
Until Jeyashri told me the recipe, I have never tried paal payasam on my own. Because amma makes all jaggery based payasams except for semiya payasam. I think this is not a common one in our households.

I Now I have tried this 4-5 times so far and love this a lot. This is rich and exotic dessert recipe. Perfect for this Gokulashtami / Krishna Jayanthi. When I wanted to post here in my blog, coincidentally, Vj asked me make last weekend. So I made and clicked. I clicked the bowl of payasam on my kutti Krishanan’s hands😀. The recipe is so simple and easy to make too.
Paal payasam recipe
Equipments (Amazon Affiliate links)
Ingredients
- Milk – 4 cups 1 litre
- Rice – 2 tbsp raw rice or basmati
- Ghee – 1 tsp
- Sugar – 1/2 cup
- saffron, cardamom powder Optional Garnish
Instructions
- Roast rice in a pan with ghee in medium flame. Powder it to a coarse powder (just break the rice).
- Take a pressure cooker(I used 3.5 litre pot shaped cooker) and grease it with few drops of ghee.
- Add milk and bring to boil, add the powdered rice and pressure cook for a whistle.(I add a small plate to avoid burnt bottom)
- After a whistle, keep the flame in lowest possible and continue heating for 10 minutes.
- After that open the cooker and add sugar and continue boiling in low flame for another 10 minutes until you get a thick consistency.
Notes
- I have done without powdering too.
- Use large pressure cooker, enough to hold the payasam. Otherwise it overflows a lot as it is milk
- Greasing with few drops of ghee before boiling prevents burnt bottom as well as overflowing.

Garish if you desire to, we like it as such with the full flavor of milk and rice, divinely!

yummy payasam
i make this way most of the times and love it..lovely picture..
wow.. yummy payasam.. looks really delicious dear..added a small plate to avoid burnt bottom is a great idea..
My mom always use a small ceramic plate while making basundi for the same reason..i love this paal payasam..looks delicious..
Love this anytime. creamy n yummy
beautiful Paysam. your clicks are always so comforting…
What is is this idea of dropping a plate ? Can someone pls explain .. in what dishes can this idea be used ? Won't a plate inside the cooker cause any problems when the whistle starts?
yummy!!
Raks
your version is very easy will try this …
Unknown : the plate will not let the milk to coat(stick) and form a layer at the bottom. As the milk boils, the plate moves here and there and prevents milk forming a layer at the bottom of the vessel. Not that it should be a plate. It can be an eversilver spoon too. My elders in family even say round marbles can be added for same reason(not sure if it is the right way though. It will never cause any trouble, no need to get afraid, I am doing this for all the times I am making.

excellent and I am sure both Krishnas will be happy.

Love paal payasam. Something new to me that why we need to use plate during preparation :).
Love the presentation of paal payasam. Your clicks are always nice. Inserting plate in the bottom of cooker, is a very useful info, thanks.
Lovely presentation !! One of favorite payasam. Kutti Krishnan is carefully holding the bowl..very sweet. Never heard of the plate idea. Will try it when I make the kheer.
I never break the rice. Make it with full grains of rice. I too love it!
I have never made it like this before. Always on the stove and it takes so much longer. This is a great variation. But I do not have a small cooker. Should get one.
Never made paal payasam before, looks mouthwatering!

The pal payasam was very very yummy.I added 1/2 cup sago too.came out really well and was very very delicious.Thanks for the tip of putting a plate or a spoon inside the cooker to prevent milk from sticking on the bottom.

I soak the rice a night before…Grind it coarsely & boil in a cooker with only water….Nothing will stick….Then add full cream milk & cook over low flame…Put cardamum powder & dry fruits & sugar in the end…Serve cold…
