Easy Caramel Kheer/Payasam Recipe

Caramel Kheer recipe

My MIL shared this recipe with me after watching in a TV show hosted by Revathi Shankaran.Last week i made this payasam within 10 minutes for my Friday Pooja.This kheer recipe is only for Caramel lovers.It tastes very similar to “Lacto King” chocolate with a mild orange color & an awesome smell of caramelWinking.Let me tell u what is caramel for beginners sake.Caramel is nothing but the sugar syrup heated until it turns brown.It is used as a flavouring or colouring for food or drink.But if you are a beginner,u should be very careful in making it.Over burning of sugar makes the caramel dark and bitter but if u do it patiently in low flame,u can achieve it right.When i browsed for this caramel payasam recipe after my MIL told about it,i found most of the recipes were with  basmati rice,aval/rice flakes and rice flour.But i tried a simple and easy version with milk & nuts as suggested by my MIL.So its like our usual Paal payasam/Milk kheer with caramel flavor.You can make this payasam instantly for your surprise guests.Moreover Holi festival is nearing our door steps.So u can plan and make it on Holi day ! I will try to share some more interesting recipes for HOLI.Stay tuned !

NB: The color & flavor of this kheer may slightly vary based on the color of caramel.The color of payasam in first pic & second pic looks slightly different due to the lighting.I clicked the same bowl under different settings.Pls don’t get confused.

Note

  • Please adjust the quantity of sugar based on your taste buds. I found 1 tbsp is just right for us.U can add 2tbsp to the maximum.
  • Be careful while caramelizing the sugar because if u miss the correct stage,payasam will taste bitter.
  • If u are a beginner,keep the flame completely low while making caramel. The total process takes around 4-5 minutes in very low flame.
  • You can also add a tbsp of condensed milk instead of sugar.It will make this kheer richer & thicker.
