Method

In a deep bottomed kadai (we usually use uruli for making payasam) or in cooker add 1 1/2 Lil of milk ,2 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar .Cook them in a very low flame .Stir well occasionally .Cook this milk till its become 1/2lit .By that time u can see  a light pink colour   .Now add washed rice with 3 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar .Stir occasionally. Cook till the right consistency of ur choice .. If u want u can add cardamom powder and roasted cashew nuts ..So the tasty payasam is ready to serve(we are getting the pink shade because we are making the 11/2 lil milk to half lil by cooking it in low flame .This is the secret behind the taste also .So if u want the authentic payasam please show patience  and take time and make like this  ) otherwise u can try another method( If u are too busy )

2nd method

If u want to make this payasam in cooker ,then take one handful of rice ,1 liter of  milk and 1cup of sugar ..Add everything in a cooker and cook  till the first whistle comes(in very low flame ).. Remove the weight after the pressure settle down..Transfer to this delicious payasam to the serving dish .
