How to make Tal Patalir Payesh/Rice Kheer with Palm Jaggery
If the Nolen gurer/date palm jaggery payesh recipe is a winter delicacy of Bengalis then we must say that the Tal Patalir Payesh is the summer delicacy, as fresh palm jaggery arrives in the markets in summer in west Bengal for very few days. In West Bengal in very few places, it is available from mid-April to May, and of course, its taste is amazing. That’s why the taste is also different from the chaler payesh with sugar.
Here I have taken Bengali’s Gobindobhog rice, which will definitely give an extra flavor to this rice kheer.
The equipment required
Hard bottomed milk pan
Spatula
Ingredients required to make Tal Patalir Payesh
- Milk-750 ml
- Gobindobhog rice-100 gm

How to make Tal Patalir Payesh
Soak rice in a bowl for half an hour
Chop the almonds
Keep ready the jaggery
Take a Hard bottomed milk pan, and boil the milk
Add two crushed cardamom
The milk is about to boil, now add the soaked Gobindobhog rice, mix with the milk and keep the flame at medium
Now the milk is boiling with rice, so stir it occasionally, and allow boiling the rice for 6-7 minutes.
Rice is almost boiled now, so minimize the flame and add the jaggery and mix slowly with the milk.
Now don’t stir the milk, let the jaggery melt on its own on low flame. ( if you are making it the first time, then don’t take the risk, better you turn off the flame and allow it to rest for 3-4 minutes, and then add the jaggery, so that, there will be no chance to curdle the milk.
Now the jaggery melted and mixed with the kheer, and the color also changed to light pink.
Now add the chopped dry fruits.
Transfer them to kulhar or any serving plate, and serve hot or cool.
