Mango Payasam | Mango Kheer

I love mangoes. If you are a regular visitor to my website, you would have noticed I have posted many Mango recipes like Mango Kesari, Mango Milkshake, Mango Kuchi ice, Eggless Mango chocochip muffins and Mango halwa.  Payasam is a traditional South Indian dessert. It can be served along with Lunch thali or as an dessert. Instead of preparing traditional Pasi paruppu payasam, Aval Payasam and Semiya payasam, try this mango payasam. Surely a treat to Mango lovers. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Mango Payasam | Mango Kheer.
