Rice Kheer / Ari Payasam is a very easy to make and quick sweet recepie. We usually make this for any occasion. This time I prepared it for my Hubby’s birthday.
In South India , we use small broken rice for this recepie ,whereas in North India Basmati rice is preferred. Here I have used Basmati rice but it can be substituted with any other rice.
I have used melted jaggery and raw sugar as sweeteners; condensed milk if added adds on more taste to the recepie.
