Payesh

Payesh is a traditional Bengali rice pudding made with rice, milk, and sugar (or jaggery). It is a comforting, sweet dish often prepared during festivals, special occasions, or as a part of offerings. The rice is cooked slowly in milk until it becomes soft and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Sometimes, cardamom, raisins, or nuts like cashews and almonds are added for extra flavor.
