Payasam/Kheer is a South Asian pudding made by boiling rice, broken rice, broken wheat, tapioca, vermicelli or with few variety of dals with milk and sugar. It is flavored with cardamom, raisins, saffron, cashew nuts, pista and almonds.

This payasam/kheer is served as a dessert. Mostly they are prepared suring times of festivals and occasions like marriage, housewarming and so on. In Tamil Nadu, payasam is one of the must dish in all good occasions.
