Annam Payasam / Paramannam

This recipe is for Vineela's JFI for milk and the product is MILK.
I made this for Vinayaka Chavithi.

My god there are so manythings that came into mind when I saw the ingredient as Milk.
I love this payasam so much and the place where I came from we call it Bellam(Jaggery) Paayasam. This is a must payasam for Sankranthi and for house warming. This tastes really good with dal and ghee. I used to hate this when I am back home where I can get it all the time but now I am craving to get that taste. I tried my best and happy for the outcome.
Coming to recipe I got it from Indira's Mahanandi. I used both jaggery and sugar and didn't make that thick. I cant wait to get it thick and more over I like it on little milky side.

Come on bring the bowls and spoons and help yourselves.

Happy Independence to all


India's flag was adopted on July 22, 1947, after India became independent from Great Britain. The flag was based upon the design of the flag of the Indian National Congress.
The Indian flag has three equal horizontal bars (saffron, white and green) with a blue Dharma Chakra (the wheel of law) in the center. The wheel has 24 spokes, representing the 24 hours in a day (at the end of each spoke is a dark blue half-moon).
The orange (deep saffron) symbolizes courage and sacrifice (saffron is the sacred color of Hinduism). The white stands for peace, unity and truth. The green stands for faith (Islam) and fertility. The blue symbolizes the sky and the ocean. The height of this flag is two-thirds the width.

Egg curry

I guess those who dont prefer to eat boiled egg can make this curry. It can be made fast and easy.I made the curry with greenpeppers, tomatoes and onions.

Boil the eggs while you make this curry .
Follow the routine beat till you fry onions(popu bla bla bla), then add chopped capsicum(chop them to approx 1" pieces) and let the whole mix steam for a while till Capsicum softens.Add tomatoes, add salt, masala powder and chillypowder. Add water if required (if you want more gravy). Let it cook for sometime.
Make small cuts on the egg and add to the curry. Let the eggs absorb little flavour and turn off the heat. Delicious and simple Egg curry is waiting for you.. It tastes good with rice.
