Arisi Thengai payasam | Coconut payasam | Rice coconut Kheer recipe is a traditional south Indian festive special Payasam Variety with coconut and rice. Jaggery based healthy payasam is widely made on Tamil new year, aadi pandigai and many other Tamil festivals. 

We usually make jaggery based Payasam on festival days as it is preferred  for neivedhyam. When it comes to traditional jaggery Payasam,  In our home it will be either Arisi Thengai Payasam or  Moong Dal and Channa Dal Payasam. 

Aadi Paal is a tasty offering prepared on the day 1 of tamil calendar Aadi month.

This quick Payasam with coconut flavor makes it delicious. Today being Navaratri day 1, I prepared this Payasam for neivedhyam.  

Back in India we used to keep golu in steps. Inviting people to see our golu, visiting friends and relative houses and getting Sundal, along with gifts – omg so many amazing memories. Navaratri is something I miss here. This time with my kutti krishar, I couldn’t keep bhommai outside, but happy with few bhoomai inside our Pooja room:-)

Payasam varieties in TMF,

Badam Payasam 

Paruppu Payasam

Carrot almond payasam

Paal Payasam 

Semiya Payasam 

Sabudana Payasam

 Macaroni Payasam

Coconut gives nice flavor to the Arisi Thengai payasam is a tasty payasam. Payasam can be quickly prepared in no time.
