Blogging after a short break. This time I didn’t cook or have sadya, just prepared payasam and had it. So took pics to share with you. Onam or any special occasion there will be payasam at our home. we commonly make semiya payasam, paruppu payasam , rice payasam at home often. We make also make variations in paruppu payasam like adding sabudana , chana dal or broken wheat. This payasam is the simplest one with moong dal and jaggery.
