Kavuni Arisi Payasam

Kavuni Arisi or Karuppu (Black) Rice is very famous in Tamil Nadu. It is very rich in Vitamin B. As far as I know this rice is available in TamilNadu, Pondicherry, Singapore and Malaysia. In Germany also it is available in the Indian Shops. Here I am posting a recipe of a Payasam made from this rice. This is a recipe from my mother. There is a blogspot in her name Visalakshi's Classic Chettinad Kitchen and the chettinad special recipes are in Tamil there.
