There was a lot of milk lying around in the fridge since our milkman dutifully delivers them daily yet we were not religiously consuming them. Not wanting it to go sour, I thought I'd transform it into a sweet rice porridge dish known as "Kheer" in north india and "Payasam" in the south.
- I made this with approximately 1 litre of milk, boiling in in a saucepan over medium heat while stirring. The key is to allow it to thicken slowly.
- Into that I added about 4 tablespoons of sugar and continued stirring.
- After the milk has thickened about perhaps maybe 3/4 or half of its initial consistency, add in about 2 serving spoons of cooked rice ( or as you like) and continue stirring.
- Add in some pounded cardamom for taste.
- In a separate pan, I heated up about 1/5 teaspoon of ghee ( Its fattening I know, but it contributes to the taste). Add in some raisins and chopped nuts if you have (I didn't). Wait till raisins grow plump and fat..I love the smell that arises at this time.
- Add fried nuts and raisins to porridge and stir.
Have a nice weekend people.

I love sweet rice - that's what we call it in Guyana. Here in Barbados, it is rice pudding. It is one of my favourite desserts and yours looks so flavourful. I won't mind having some right now. :)

I absolutely love rice pudding or porridge. When I lived in Norway I ate a quite a lot of it - although I can see that the flavors would be a bit different. This looks wonderful!
