    In this section we are going to see many varities of payasams. As for as I know, North Indians like sweets very much but they prepare limited varities of payasams. But we South Indians, used to prepare many varities of payasams.

    Already I have given 3 payasams in Krishna Jayanthi thread. So let us see other types here.

    1.Pal Payasam
    2.Aval Payasam
    3.Akkaravadisal
    4.Coconut Milk Payasam

    Some Tips

    Whenever you prepare payasam, cook them in low flame. That will increase the taste.

    Use full cream milk or coconut milk for payasam.

    If you want to get the ‘light pink colour’ , just fry a spoon sugar in a dry kadai and dissolve it in water. And add it to payasam. This will give a good colour and good taste to payasam.

    It is good to add ‘condensed milk’ or ‘shortened milk’ in payasam.

    Generally add more quantity of jaggery if you use it instead of sugar.

    To make the payasam tasty you can add raw cashew nuts or raw badam or ‘vellari vedai’ in that.

    To make them more delicious, you can add cardamom powder or Saffron strings or ‘Jadi kai’ or ‘Jadi Patri’ ‘pachai karpuram’ etc.,
