Description

A yummy payasam very own to Kerala . Every house hold has its own version . I guess mine is fusion of Kerala payasam and Tamil Nadu Payasam together . I made it yesterday for my friends Priya and neetha ( both are vegetarians ) and packed it of to their respective homes . Have to mention about the bronze vessel in the picture . It was gifted to my mother – in – law for her wedding by her grand mother . It is actually a bettal leaf stand . My mother – in – law gifted me four things ( very sentimental to her ) to me when I moved in to a seperate house . One this bettel leaf stand , another mortal / pastel and ammi / sil pata ( South Indian grinder made with stone ) gifted to her by her mother and one ceramic plate from Colombo her father had gifted her . All the four gifts are kept with care and respect till date at home . These are a few antique treasures I own .
