• Here I used the sweetened condensed milk,so I didn't add sugar and it was just perfect.If needed it can be increased.
• I didn't add cardamom powder as the rose flavor is enough and makes the payasam so perfect and flavorful.
• If you are not adding condensed milk then add around 1/2 -3/4 cups of sugar according to taste.
