Rava Payasam Recipe | Sooji Kheer | Semolina Kheer

Rava Payasam is one of the simple and easy payasam which is prepared with rava, milk, and sugar. This month is holy for Thirupathi Balaji and we call it as Purattasi month in Tamil. The whole month is auspicious and each Saturday we prepare some sweet and offer it as Prashad to Balaji.

As last week was first Saturday of this auspicious month I prepared this Rava Payasam as Prashad. Usually, we prepare Sweet Pongal, but this time I wanted to try something easy and tasty. This payasam can be prepared in a jiffy with the basic ingredients which is available in our pantry. Even though this can be prepared in no time, there is no compromise in taste. The specified amount of sugar was enough for me. If you have sweet tooth instead of 1/3 cup of sugar add 1/2 cup of sugar. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
