Hi All,

PALM FRUIT KHEER / PAYASAM!! I love payasam , And during my marriage payasam is the only sweet which I Know to make and for all festivals I make only payasam.I will refrigerate and enjoy it for 2 days even.Recently I saw in Bangalore lot of shops selling palm fruit ,I recollected my childhood days when we had fresh palm fruits in my grandma's house during summer holidays .Now we don't get fresh palm fruits even in my home town but here in Bangalore we get a lot so I brought a bunch of palm fruits and wanted to make something with it.

During this vacation visit my mum gave me a collection of recipes which she has collected for more than 20 years , when I reviewed one of those books I got this recipe ,I altered the recipe a little and made this kheer.

The taste was so amazing and it is very good to beat summer heat , happy to share the recipe with you ,

Milk – 2 cup + 1/4 cup.
