Arisi Thengai Payasam (Rice Coconut Kheer)
Arisi Thengai Payasam is a traditional payasam which we make during festivals. Normally we make payasam using dals and jaggery. This is a slight variation of payasam without using dals. We concoct this with raw rice, coconut and jaggery to make this mouth-watering dish. It is one of the neivedhyam dishes.
