NOTE/TIP
- You can even make this payasam with full of milk, I don’t have the practice of making like that. This method is quiet easy and comfort for me.
- Always add a less amount of ghee for roasting the nuts, unless it will spoil the entire dish taste.
- Soaking sago is an advantage, if not. Skip the 1st step and follow the rest.
