Arisi Thengai Payasam is a traditional payasam which we make during festivals. Normally we make payasam using dals and jaggery. This is a slight variation of payasam without using dals. We concoct this with raw rice, coconut and jaggery to make this mouth-watering dish. It is one of the neivedhyam dishes.
Mostly for any Hindi Festivals, along with other traditional offering, we make one variety of payasam. Especially for an offering (Neivedhyam) its always preferred to make payasam with jaggery instead of sugar. My mom always make either Arisi Thengai Payasam or Dal Payasam (its combination of Chana Dal, Toor Dal and Moong dal along with jaggery).
In my in-laws place, my MIL makes Pradhaman. The main variation in Pradhaman from Payasam is adding coconut milk instead of regular milk. Adding milk to boiling jaggery makes the milk curdle, but we can add very diluted coconut milk. In this Arisi Thengai Payasam (Rice Coconut Kheer), adding milk is optional. If we like to add milk, then cool the payasam and then add boiled and cooled milk.
Combination of Rice, Jaggery and Coconut Milk makes this payasam very special and tasty.
