Payasum is a traditional Kerala sweet pudding made with various combinations of rice, moong dal, vermicelli, fruits, jaggery, coconut and spices. Its variants are created in every Malayalee kitchen during festivals every year.
It is packed with sugar and drips ghee, yet a South Indian festival is not really festive without ladlefuls of delicious Payasum. Try this one and impress your guests.
