caramel payasam/caramel kheer with step by step pictures

this is such a lovely kheer and i want to try once i saw in few blogs here and now am here with my own version and prepared this last weekend.It came out really well and adding butter in the recipe is optional and if you do not want to add butter in payasam recipe,avoid it and make as usual.I did not added ghee or clarified butter in the recipe as we roast the dry fruits and nuts in the usual payasam recipes.Vishu/Tamil New year coming so you can expect more and more payasam recipes along with some sweets here,so stay tuned.

I served this kheer little chilled as summer is in peak,so i served this one chilled.V told this is good but too sweet for him.Yeah it is little sweet when i made this one ,so i provided enough sugar in the ingredient.I just added extra sugar in milk forgetting the addition of condensed milk.So you too be cautious in adding sugar in milk.Without ghee roasted dry nuts,adding as it is makes healthy one as well make it richer too.lets move on making the recipe.,
