Rava Payasam

ரவை பாயாசம் – Rava Payasam

Rava payasam is one of the payasam which is easy to prepare with less ingredients. Usually I prepare paruppu payasam or paal payasam but for a change I wish to try some other variety. I tried this paayaasam recently and after trying this ரவா பாயாசம், it become one of my favorite.
