Healthy no ghee microwave kheer : Thattikkuttu payassam : featuring rice Kukskitchen

Yes another thattikkuttu recipe. :-)

My son wanted a payassam and I was too lazy to do it the hob method. Microwave was the way forward. :-) And the result is.........
healthy low fat microwave rice kheer payassam



Boiling milk in a microwave is always scary; one tiny minute more than needed and u end up having to clean up the whole oven. I kept on looking thru the glass window every other minute. Well, now I know the time needed for the perfect taste, still leaving my microwave clean :-)



Serves: 2

U need: A large microwave safe bowl, so the milk doesn't spill over.

Ingredients


Rice - 1/2 cup - I used basmati
Water - 2 cups
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 5 tsp
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Saffron strands to garnish

Method


- In a large microwavable bowl, add rice and water and cook on full power for 10 minutes till rice is cooked.

- Drain excess water and pour in the milk and sugar. Stir well. Pop it back in the microwave and cook for a total of 8 minutes, stirring after every 2 minutes. This helps dissolve the sugar better and makes sure the milk doesn't spill over.

- Add cardamom powder and mix well.

- Garnish with saffron strands and serve.

Let me know if there is an even easier version of making payassam girls. Share pls!
