If you happen to visit and I claim, with mandatory sweet smile and saintly mien, that I made payasam (kheer) just for you, don’t visualize me reading War and Peace in its entirety while I stirred a pan of boiling milk to the right consistency.
It’s more likely that I spent the $ 0.49 (buy two, get one free) on Priya brand Kheer Mix, added it to water, stirred the goo for 10 minutes, and then snuck in a tin of condensed milk, a bunch of ghee-fried almonds, cashews, pistachios, raisins, and a few strands of saffron.
If I didn’t tell you, you’d never know. And that wouldn’t be right. Where the payasam’s concerned, love Priya (not maya).
