I wanted to know what is idichu pizhinja payasam.?I don't know if we use some other name for that. I would like to know about it.
My husband likes kachil a lot. So when I went to kerala got the same.
Chitra
Its recipe is different than the usual payasam I will post in detail, because I have to ask the temple authorities about that . It is supplied from the temple on that day. Are you from Chennai
Aswathy, I belong to Kerala only but a Konkani. I am not familiar with all the recipes of Kerala. Our menu is slightly different.
