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:-) Coconut gives a nice flavor to the Arisi Thengai payasam is a tasty payasam. Payasam can be quickly prepared in no time. See more Payasam recipes
