Nungu payasam recipe – A simple and tasty payasam made with nungu / palm fruit / ice apple.I wanted to try this nungu payasam after seeing it in a tv show last year and finally tried it now.
This nungu payasam recipe is my own though got an idea from the Tv show.You can make this nungu payasam when nungu or palm fruit is in season and enjoy it.This payasam was absolutely relished by all of us and I was so happy that it turned out so tasty inspite of me not adding any rich ingredients.
Try it with cane sugar as it adds a great flavour to the payasam.
