Peach Rice Kheer/Peach Paal Payasam

Rice kheer, my daughter's favourite. She loves it that much and she can have it even everyday. Obviously i do prepare kheer with rice quite often as they gets ready easily. This kheer suits prefectly for poojas and to serve for sudden guest. Coming to this peach rice kheer, i tried this kheer today for our lunch, as my daughter was asking her favourite rice kheer since a long.Needless to say how delicious this kheer tastes, the picture itself will speaks a lot.

Our this month's Magic Mingle, an event by Kalyani goes for rice and watermelon, as per rules of this event we have to cook anything with these both ingredients. Its neither summer here nor watermelon season, so i mailed Kalyani asking whether i can skip this challenge or else to use any other alternative fruits. She replied me to use either peach,pear or melons, i chosed peach eventhough its not peach season here, but i can find atleast in tinned one. So picked a peach in sugar syrup tin yesterday from the supermarket and prepared this easy breezy kheer today.If you dont feel like adding peaches as cubes,you can grind them as puree and add it while cooking the kheer.I skipped ghee,nuts in this recipe, if you want you can add them as per your need,eventhough this kheer tastes marvellous with mild peach flavor.
