RICE PAYASAM FROM KAILAS KITCHEN – REMEMBERING JAYASREE SATISH

  I am really struggling to find words to write this post and can’t control tears rolling down from my eyes while writing this post. As a food blogger, we all will feel happy when someone tries our recipe and tell us they enjoyed the recipe very much. But Jayasree Satish is no more with us in this moment to enjoy the happy moments. Though i know only through facebook, i always love her smile and calmness in her face. To be more honest, i visited her blog for the first time a few days back and i am amazed to see very nice collection of recipes in her blog.
I tried rice payasam from her blog and that came out super delicious and my husband was asking me to make this again. When i told him about the source of recipe even he also felt very sad. Visit Kailas kitchen for the original recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

RICE	3 TBLSP
COCONUT	1/2 CUP
MILK	1 CUP
GHEE	1 TSP
SUGAR	4 TBLSP
CARDAMOM POWDER	A PINCH
CASHEW NUT	6-7 NO

  METHOD:

• Soak the rice in water for 1/2 an hour.
• Drain the water and grind this along with coconut into a fine paste.
• In a pan, add 2 cups of water and the paste and cook it in a low flame stirring every now and then.
• when this gets completely cooked (will be ready in 5-6 mins) add the sugar and stir well till it get dissolved.
• Add milk to this and bring it to a boil keeping the flame low.Switch off the flame.
• Fry the cashew nuts in ghee and add to the kheer.
