Palada Payasam (Rice Ada Kheer)

A 'Sadya' is not complete without this for a malayalee..

Ingredients (Serves 7 to 8 people)
Rice Ada: 300 gms (You can get this from any supermarket)
Milk : 2 Litres
Sugar: 2 Cup (Can increase or decrease as per the sweetness required)
Water: 3 Cups
Saltless butter: 1 Teaspoon
Salt: 1 Pinch

Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Method
Boil 2 cups of water
To this, add rice ada and keep it aside for 10 minutes
Drain the water and wash the ada well in plain water
Mix 1 cup of water and 1/2 litre of milk and to this add the cleaned ada and cook well
Boil rest of the milk
Once the ada is cooked well, add it to the boiling milk and keep on stirring
Once it achieves a thick consistency, reduce the flame and add sugar slowly
Let the paayasam boil well again for about 10 minutes or until the desired consistency is achieved
Switch off the flame and add a teaspoon of saltless butter and a pinch of salt and stirr well.
Serve hot or cold

Note
Add cashew and raisins if you like
It is good to add a pinch of salt as it helps to balance the sweetness of the paayasam.
