This Payasam is special! This is not the modern-age payasam but an age-old recipe from my mom's kitty, probably passed onto her as a part of legacy :-) and she passed it onto me :-) I totally love this payasam for its simplicity and superb taste. Would have it everyday provided someone is willing to cook it for me..Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!!
