Paal Payasam - Matta Rice Payasam - Rice Pudding

Happy Maha Sivarathiri!!

Paal Payasam recipe

Ari Payasam is a popular recipe of Kerala and this payasam is believed to be the favorite of Lord Krishna. Paal Payasam is one of the popular prasadham of Guruvayoor temple.  Ari payasam is traditionally made with raw red rice / matta raw rice (broken) which is cooked in milk and sugar.
When made in temple they do not add any flavors like cardamon or ghee , but still it tastes divine with the matta rice flavor.  For me payasam's cannot be made without ghee and elachi so added a little of  it to my payasam.
