    I waited so many days to try it out. Finally i made it a month back and it was sitting in my draft waiting to be posted. Sago is also added in this payasam. It makes it more substantial. I love to add some fried up coconut pieces in this to make it more flavorful. I hope you will try this and let me know how it turned out.

      I have tried your semiya payasam with cocunut milk and jaggery. Taste was excellent. I will get cocunuts frequently within one week. When we have plenty of cocunuts at home this payasam is ideal to try.

      Thankyou very much aarthi for sharing with us.
