INDIAN JAGGERY RICE PUDDING (VELLAM PAYASAM)



Indian Jaggery Rice Pudding (Vellam Payasam) image

This is my mom's recipe for authentic South Indian Jaggery pudding. 'Vellam' is the Tamil word for 'jaggery', while 'payasam' is Tamil for 'pudding'. Jaggery is tan coloured, unrefined sugar, made from the sap of palm trees or sugar cane, and is much more flavourful than granulated sugar. It's often sold in solid cakes, but it should crumble when you squeeze it. Look for it in Indian markets. In this recipe, preferably don't substitute the jaggery with anything else, since the pudding gets most of it's flavour from the jaggery. I've tried this only with jaggery, so I don't know how it would turn out with substitutes. For more information on jaggery, use this link: http://www.foodsubs.com/Sweeten.html

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup uncooked medium grain rice
2 cups water
300 g palm sugar or 300 g brown sugar (Preferably don't substitute)
2 1/2 tablespoons ghee or 2 1/2 tablespoons clarified butter
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
1 teaspoon broken cashews
1/2 tablespoon ghee or 1/2 tablespoon clarified butter

Steps:

  • Add rice and water to a pot on a high flame and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the flame to low and simmer covered until the rice is cooked, about 15 minutes.
  • Uncover, add jaggery and 2 1/2 tablespoons of ghee and let the mixture simmer on the low flame, stirring every 2 minutes.
  • When the mixture starts to thicken to the consistency of pourable custard (about 10 minutes), remove from flame.
  • Sprinkle cardamom powder over the pudding.
  • In a small skillet, roast the broken cashewnuts in 1/2 tbsp ghee and pour over the pudding.
  • Mix well, and serve immediately, or cold, after refrigeration.

Tips:

  • For a creamy texture, use full-fat milk or coconut milk.
  • Rinse the rice well before cooking to remove any starch.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
  • Stir the rice pudding frequently while it is cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • Add the sugar and cardamom powder towards the end of the cooking time to prevent them from caramelizing.
  • Garnish the rice pudding with nuts, dried fruits, or saffron strands before serving.
