    A few tips for payasam,
    1. add the sugar to the milk once it starts getting warm that way it wont stick to the bottom of the vessel
    2. Try without the raisins
    3. Use lesser quantity of rice & cook it with a little sugar too.

    Thanks for your comments Aartee.

    I tried my recipe and it really came out well. Raisins generally adds taste to the dish and is good for health. As you can see the fun part of cooking is the different variations one can create and have fun with it. Give a try and u’ll like it. Your points are taken.
