Sorakaya Payasam ~ Doodhi Kheer for 4th blog birthday

Warm regards,
Suba
congrats!! i do not find a very appropriate word to express my feelings and i can not write too much on this occasion except to say all the best for the future and keep it up. thanks.
I tried this reciepe but it was not thick as in for other payasams we make. it how it is meant to be??
You can make it thick and creamy by boiling the milk for a longer time, stirring it continuously. Also adding khoya or condensed milk will give it a creamy texture. The above recipe is not thick since I’ve used skimmed milk (low fat).
Belated wishes and congratulations to you sailu…
Actually we shld thank you for providing such a beautiful site with so much insight..
keep doing the great work..
Hi Sailu — sorry I am late but still would like to wish you a very happy 4th blog-birthday! Thanks for sharing your kitchen
Happy New Year to you and yours!
