Instant pot Sabudana kheer is a flavorful Indian pudding. We can prepare tasty one-pot kheer with soaked Tapioca.
What variety of sago should I use for payasam?
Use small tapioca pearl as it soaks and cooks fast.
Can I skip soaking
Soaking helps for perfect cooking. Payasam in this method needs proper “soft press” shocking else sabudana won’t cook well.
Should I rinse javvarisi multiple times?
Yes always wash sabudana well till the water turns clear else starch in sabudana will turn payasam gooey.
CAN I COOK Tapioca pudding in PORRIDGE MODE?
if you have not soaked sabudana you can cook in “porridge” mode in that case skip sugar
CAN I USE brown SUGAR FOR PAAL PAYASAM?
Yes, you can use any sugar of your choice. I sometimes prepare the payasam with a combination of white and demerara sugar or with white sugar alone. Also, adjust the quantity of sugar according to your taste.
CAN I USE LOW-FAT MILK FOR PAYASAM?
For best Rice kheer always use whole fat milk. You can use 2% milk but avoid 1% milk.
SHOULD I USE HOT MILK FOR PREPARING kheer?
I have used cold milk right from the fridge. Since we are going to cook well-soaked sabudana and milk, we can use chilled milk for preparing payasam
CAN I SKIP BOILING javvarisi PAYASAM?
After cooking Instant pot paal kheer in “ Steam mode” Milk kheer gets cooked but for the best rice kheer don’t skip boiling the payasam for 5 more minutes. If you feel payasam is thick add milk and boil payasam.
