Delicious! Love curry leaves! 🙂

Hi mam,
When i prepare pal payasam, soon it gets solid.
How to keep pal payasam as liquid for long time
Hi Thilaga,
To keep Pal Payasam liquid for long time, you have to reduce the quantity of rice and increase the quantity of milk. Still you find it solid, then before serving add little boiled milk to the payasam and make it liquid.
