Payasam is an Indian dessert similar to Western rice pudding. It is delicately flavored, usually serves in the end of spicy meal and also essential food during wedding.
The semolina is lightly roasted with ghee (clarified butter) then simmered in hot milk until thicken. Rava Payasam is sweetened with sugar according to your taste then sprinkled with roasted cashew and raisin.
It is best serve either hot or cold but this is not recommended for dieter since butter and full cream milk are used for making this wonderful dessert.
