Notes

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.
Whole Milk - Always try to use whole milk for making payasam (kheer).
Almond Paste - Adding almond paste is optional but this adds richness to the kheer.
Condensed Milk (Milk Maid) -As we are adding sugar, we are adding only ¼ cup of condensed milk. If you like, you can skip sugar and add only condensed milk.
Use broad/bigger Vessel for cooking the milk to avoid overflow/spill over.
