Payasams are very easy to make and tastes very yummilicious….Sago and vermicelli both are my fav. I just combined both and with jaggery and  I tried this PAYASAM……

    MY NOTES :

•     Use sugar instead of jaggery if you like……
•      I used less jaggery(for DH) and kheer was Mild sweet in taste..So,I advice you guys to add 1/2 cup more in you like….
•     Sago and semiya both are my fav.So, I used same quantity.You can use any of them 1/2cup too…
•      Make payasam thin other wises in won`t tastes good…So, Keep an eye on milk quantity in payasam while making.…
