No meal is complete with a cup of dessert which can either be a kheer , pudding ,payasam ,ice cream or even a chocolate.My wish is to a have an Indian sweet/ mithai after a great meat and at times I prefer payasam to subtle my sweet carving.I can gulp as many as cups I can at any time of the time.When I make payasam at home it is only me who indulge in it as my kids hate payasam/kheer.
This payasam is made with whole wheat berry which is soaked and them pressure cooked.It is them sweetened with jaggery and cooked along with coconut milk.With onam falling tomorrow do try this healthy and easy payasam and serve it for sadya
