    Matta Rice Payasam is a rich delicious creamy dessert made using Kerala brown or matta rice and milk as main ingredients.

    We all love thick creamy kheer or payasam and payasam or milk kheer is our family favorite.Usually I make paal payasam with raw rice or basmati rice.This time tried it using Kerala brown rice or matta rice as they call it and the payasam turned out so delicious.I had a pack of kerala brown rice which I had bought earlier so thought to use it up.

    Kerala rice is very nutritious and has a lot of health benefits.We call this rice by many names like matta rice,kerala brown rice or palakkadan matta rice etc.This dish can be prepared using any rice that is available in the market for instance brown rice or handpound rice etc.

    • I used full fat milk as a result got a thick and creamy payasam.
    • I loved this payasam because it is nutritious and at the same time it is so creamy and delicious.
    • In addition you can add nuts and dry fruits to this payasam.
