Give a boost to your body and palates as well with this dainty delight Kavuni Arisi Payasam that proudly comes from the royal kitchen of the Chetinad..
Take a cup of Kavuni Arisi / Black Rice, wash it thrice and soak overnight or for six to seven hours approximately.
Then transfer the rice to a vessel (along with the soaked water) and pour in three cups of water and pressure cook for about five to six whistles approximately and wait for the pressure to get released completely.
Take out the rice and collect the water in a glass and slightly mash up the black rice using a masher.
Now heat a thick bottomed skillet and add this mashed black rice and pour in two and a half cups of boiled milk to it and stir in.
Just after two minutes, add the measured quantity of sugar with a nice stir.
Then add the boiled water (from the glass) and mix altogether and alter the flame to high mode.
Let it cook for a while and besides, saute the nuts and raisins in a small kadai with a teaspoon of ghee and add it to the skillet.
After a minute or two when it turns aromatic and reaches the desired consistency just turn off the stove.
The lip-smacking kavuni Arisi Payasam is ready to eat. Serve it hot as a dessert at any part of the day.
