Payasam or kheer is something which most of us like and can also be offered to God. So mainly these dishes are done during festivals as an offering to god. Me to travelling the same line, did this for Vinayagar Chaturthi. Already I have posted a poha payasam / Poha kheer recipe for Krishna Jayanthi, but this is something different from that and also was delicious. I made this with jaggery, crushed the poha and used coconut milk.
