About Rice payasam
Rice Payasam, a cherished dessert in South Indian cuisine, is a creamy and aromatic dish made with rice, milk, sugar or jaggery, and flavored with cardamom, saffron, or nuts like cashews and almonds. Often served during festivals or special occasions, its rich texture and sweetness make it a beloved comfort food. While rice and milk provide essential carbohydrates and protein, the addition of nuts supplies healthy fats and vitamins. Spices like cardamom and saffron offer natural antioxidants and digestive benefits. However, Payasam's high sugar content can contribute to calorie overload, making moderation key for maintaining balanced nutrition. Variations using jaggery instead of refined sugar offer a slightly healthier alternative by incorporating minerals such as iron. This traditional dish is a delightful treat when savored thoughtfully within a balanced diet.
