This is the month of aadi and is fully filled with godly prayers and celebrations starting from the day one itself.It may be any variations in payasams done down the South here obviously,I just relate-imagine with some type of celebrations.I don’t know may be payasams/kheer and festivities are divinely inter-related .A special combo that I love about Jaggery is its fusion with coconut.A simple coconut laddu with jaggery has fulfilled all my sweet craving from the beginning of the time.This coconut kheer recipe indian /arisi thengai payasam is one the payasam that is so exceptional. Its done during aadi velli(friday) or even during aadi krithigai. Aadi krithigai is for Lord murugan.There will be special fasting done by the devotees.In addition even special prayers are also performed. I have roasted some chunks of coconut along with cashews which is purely optional.Before grinding rice with coconut the rice should be soaked atleast for 20 minutes.This coconut kheer recipe indian is a very simple payasam to do at home in no time with no compromise in taste.
