Notes

  1. Red Poha - Try to use red poha (sivappu aval) which gives a nice light pink color to the payasam. If you don't have red poha use regular white poha. But make sure that the thick variety of the poha is used.
  2. Whole Milk - Always try to use whole milk for making payasam (kheer).
  3. Use broad/bigger Vessel for cooking the milk to avoid overflow/spill over.
