Red Pumpkin Kheer/Parangikai Payasam - Festive Food
Day 3 of Blogging marathon, it is another Sweet Recipe. Red Pumpkin Kheer, My Mom made this kheer during my last vacation in Chennai. We didn't feel the taste of the vegetable in the Payasam/Kheer. My in-laws, never use red-pumpkin as they don't like the taste of it, but they loved the Payasam/Kheer and My Father-in-law kept saying it tastes like Badam Kheer. This Payasam/Kheer was part of the Festive Thali.
Ingredients
½ Kg Red pumpkin
3 Cups of Milk (i used low-fat)
few strands of Saffron soaked in a tablespoon of warm milk
½ Cup Sugar
