Thank you Sharmi for the Tasty and quick payasam. I made this for Krishna. All are happy with the taste and really quick. I was running short of time, this recipe really helped me to make very fast. Your really having lots of cute props for your photographs…. this payasam, the texture showing in the spoon and that tumbler….gives such a traditional look… really this photograph attacts me a lot to see the recipe. Where you got these cute tumbler and spoons? Your notes really helping a lot, as you said this payasam started thicking by the time of neivethyam, I kept some more milk ready to add and serve. Thanking again for sharing the notes, which really helps us to make the recipe perfect 100%.
