Aval Payasam is an easy to make kheer and it so delicious with a rich flavor of thick milk. Aval (Poha) is a healthy grain. For most of the auspicious occasions and also during vrat days, this is one ingredient that is widely used. This is one of the basic version of payasam made just using milk, poha and sugar. We can further enhance the taste of the kheer using condensed milk and almond paste if required.
Red poha is made from red rice. First the red rice is parboiled, pounded to remove the husk which makes the rice flat. Then the flattened rice flakes are dried, packaged.red rice is not highly processed and retains its bran layer, which makes it healthier than regular white rice. Red rice is rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The red poha recipes taste no different than the typical poha. So we can use more of red poha in place of the regular white poha as a healthy choice!

Whole Milk - Always try to use whole milk for making payasam (kheer).
Use broad/bigger Vessel for cooking the milk to avoid overflow/spill over.
