## About

It is a popular South Indian or Andhra cuisine dessert recipe made with rice flour, jaggery, and full cream milk. It is most commonly known as Undrallu Payasam or Undrallu Kheer as it is made with 2 main ingredients. Basically, the dessert is made with Undrallu or rice balls and payasam or milk jaggery pudding. It is a popular dessert recipe made specifically during auspicious occasions like Ganesh Chaturthi or Krishna Janmashtami and served as offerings and Prasadam.

There are many types of **Undralla Payasam** or **Paal Kozhukattai** from its authentic traditional recipe. The authentic recipe is made with just milk and soft rice dumplings with sugar for sweetness. However, the most popular way is to make it with jaggery for the dark brown color of the dessert. The other popular variant is to be made with coconut milk as an alternative to regular milk. This can also be termed as vegan dessert for those with dairy allergies.

## Notes

* Firstly, make sure to add milk only after the payasam is cooled. else there are chances milk to split.

* Also, jaggery can be replaced with sugar for variation.

* Additionally, boil the rice balls before adding jaggery so that the rice balls are cooked from the inside.

* Finally, **Undralla Payasam Recipe tastes great when fresh coconut pieces are added.**
