This is a very simple kheer made in a jiffy. Generally, it is made for Varalakshmi pooja or any auspicious Fridays. Though my mom makes rava payasam, this is the first time I am trying at home. It turned out very well and it is a very easy and simple payasam. I added little condensed milk so that it will not taste like porridge.
I used sugar in making this payasam. But you can add jaggery too instead of sugar. It will turn out very well. I have given tips in this video if you are using jaggery in this payasam. If you want to make quick sweet | kheer for neivedyam or for guests, you can make this rava payasam.

- This kheer tends to be thick after it is cooled. So let the consistency be thin.

- Do not add more rava than the quantity mentioned. Else it will be like a halwa only.

- You can add jaggery to the rava payasam, but add the jaggery once the mik mixture is completely cool.
