      This is more or less how my mom makes and it has been ages since I tasted it. I was just asking my husband if he would love to have some kheer tomorrow 🙂 Thanks for reminding such an awesome kheer.

      I have used poppy seeds in breads and savoury dishes, but never in desserts. This traditional payasam looks amazing. The jaggery adds a nice colour to the payasam.
