Aval paayaasam is prepared with flatten rice (Aval), milk and jaggery. Payasam is a special dish usually served in South Indian marriages. In North India, this recipe is called as kheer. This is the first time I prepared this payasam and it came out very well. Everyone in my family loved this Aval payasam. It’s very easy to prepare. Here you go!
