Nei payasam recipe | Sharkara payasam |Katti payasam with step by step photos and video recipe. one of the traditional dessert recipe made in Kerala temples. also called as kadu maduram or katti payasam.
Nei payasam is the favorite of all desserts well even before palada pradhaman. for a person who hesitates to eat more than 3 spoons of any dessert. it is possible to eat a cup of this. Am so much in love with this one.
especially when served in temple, this is like amirdham – of course it is i know but i could not explain you how it will be at temples. over exaggerated huh? not at all. this recipe deserves it.
just with very few ingredients the outcome is extraordinary. i have used the normal regular ponni pachari/raw rice that you get everywhere.
