Chaler payesh is a type of rice kheer prepared with Bengali style. In Bengali language 'chal' meaning rice and 'payesh' meaning kheer. Whole spices like bay leaf, cinnamon and whole cardamom are added while its cooking and that makes it different from other types of kheer. These spices give it a very nice flavour. Kheer is usually prepared during festivals or occasions. It is prepared with very basic and minimum ingredients. This kheer is prepared by reducing milk which makes it really delicious.
