Your payasam loks good, but don't prefer fried banana much. I've had the worst ever godambu payasam in restaurants here. It's so important to get the correct mix of ingredients!
simply delicious bowl of payasam... i second richa:)
Lot of fried Bananas these day s and this is the best! Looks gorgeous:))
WOW this is so different....looks YUM!....nice pic...never tried this before...
Now this is my kind of payasam-without milk. We made a kadala pradhaman almost similar to this, minus the bananas, for Onam.
I like yours a lot.
You always come up with unique tempting combos :) Never tasted it :(

Hi richa : I am fed Exing one bowl of this payasam to you, right now :D
Hi Nags : Thenga kothu is optional.. it taste good to bite on some. Usually i have seen payasam with jaggery is garnished with thenga kothu.
Hi Seena : yeah seena,something seems to be happening .. we are doing the same thing :D
Hi Rachna : Right, all the jaggery type paysam's are made the same way..with different main ingredient(s)
Hi Jyothsna : You are right, correct mix of ingredients and also good quality of ingredients are very important. Banana used here is ripe plantain....don't use other banana.
