Ingredients

  • 1 cup Karuppu Kavuni Rice
  • 1.5 cups Jaggery
  • A Pinch Cardamom
  • 3 tsp Ghee
  • Mixed Nuts Roasted

Instructions

How to make Karuppu Kavuni Payasam

  • Wash the rice and soak it overnight or at least 10 to 12 hours.
  • Cook the rice with water with a ratio of 1:3 in a pressure cooker and cook for 3 to 5 whistles.
  • Meanwhile, melt the jaggery and remove impurities if any. Cook again for 5 to 7 mins to get a medium thick syrup.
  • Take the rice out of the cooker and add the jaggery syrup and cook on low flame till the jaggery and rice mix well.
  • The payasam becomes sticky in consistency and shiny in appearance and will retain a chewy texture.
  • Add cardamom powder, roasted nuts, and ghee and mix it in.

Notes

Since the rice is glutinous and chewy, you don't need a lot of ghee.
Soaking for a longer time helps in cooking the rice properly.
