Brown rice is a highly nutritious food. It is a whole grain that is relatively low in calories, high in fiber, gluten-free and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. Since brown rice is a good source of magnesium, phosphorus, selenium,thiamine, niacin, Vitamin B3 obviously its high in fiber. When the outermost layer of a grain rice (the huskà is removed) brown rice is produce.Brown rice has a shelf life of approximately 6 months but hermetic storage, refrigerating or freezing can extend their lifetime.The cooking time of brown rice needs generally a longer cooking times than the usual white rice.Brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of calories and carbohydrates. I have been cooking with brown rice since a long, however i seriously want to showcase some of brown rice dishes which i usually cook for our weekly menu. I have couple of dishes to post but still i picked this alluring, creamy brown rice payasam aka milk pudding to post for this week's blogging marathon.
I prepared this creamy Brown rice milk pudding for this year's Tamil new year's lunch platter. Though i prepared a simple thali for the feast, this brown rice milk pudding turned out our lunch more delicious than i imagined. I used pressure cooker for making this ultimate paal payasam, hence the whole cooking process took me just 15 minutes, yes trust me pressure cooking helps a lot to reduce the cooking time. As much as like most of the payasams, i used sweetened condensed milk to bring the sweetness hence this droolworthy paal payasam turned out more creamy and delicious, obviously this paal payasam turned out extremely yummyilicious. If you are a follower of my space, you guys might have noticed that am running a month of blogging marathon with 4 different themes for 4 weeks. And this week's theme for this Mega marathon is 'Wholegrains'. After dishing out 4 different dishes with rye flour,quinoa,oats, broken jowar, i couldnt stop myself posting this delightful brown rice paal payasam for this week's theme.

Super idea Priya to include brown rice in Paaysam. We love paal payasam with rice too but I always add white rice? Tastewise any difference Priya?

I gave up getting brown rice for the reason that they take so long to cook..I would loose my patience..but never thought of a pressure cooker..will definitely try and look forward to your brown rice recipes,this kheer sounds absolutely gorgeous.

Paal payasam with brown rice sounds as inviting as with white rice. I guess it would have tasted even similar too.
The brown rice paal payasam looks so delicious. I love the nuttiness of the brown rice and that would be so good in the kheer. I have never made it before and I am definitely trying this next time.
Payasam looks so divine in that brass bowl with that garnish of ghee toasted cashews, Priya. I love payasams and want to grab that bowl from my screen.
