Raab ~ The Malaysian paysam(wheat dalia kheer)!  




All ice creams or desserts are big fail if you can try making this paysam in this recipe given. Very tender taste with mild fragrance of fennel seeds! Because it contains jaggery and condesed milk for sweetness so flavors literally burst in mouth. 😛
