How to prepare Avalakki Recipe or Beaten Rice Pudding

Wash beaten rice under clean running water. Soak it in little warm water and keep aside. Allow it to get softened.

Now, heat milk. When it boils, simmer the flame and continue boiling while continuously stirring the milk.

When milk reduces to half the original quantity, add grated coconut, softened beaten rice, sugar, elaichi powder and saffron strands. Boil for a couple of minutes and switch off the flame.

Roast cashew pieces in ghee and add in to the payasa. Hot ghee and condensed milk deliver great aroma together.

Serve the pudding hot or chilled.
