Note
Condensed milk is added to give it a creamy and rich texture. But you can add only sugar too. If adding a mix of both condensed milk and sugar, adjust sweetness as per taste.Nutmeg and khus khus gives it a different and aromatic flavor. It is however not added to traditional payasams made for festivals. So it is purely optional.
