H for Haiti. When I was thinking about the countries with the letter H, Haiti came first to my mind. And Haiti reminds me of my dear blogger friend, Mir. So I hopped onto her space and picked up this delectable beverage which apparently is served to kids.
This is essentially Cornmeal Payasam/kheer and so I was pretty confident that it would be accepted by the kids.
This turned out so good that at the end of the day all of us were peeping into the refrigerator to see if there are any leftovers. Each of us would go sneaking a spoon here and a spoon there until I figured that the kids left an empty bowl in the refrigerator!!

Good that you didn't have to do a extensive search to find a delicious drink from this country. Looks very good Harini.

That is such a delicious and simple drink.
It is always nice when the food is liked by family and to find an empty bowl or a jar, off course unless you are starving. Aksan looks good and like the star anise garnish.

nice to see an empty bowl sometimes isnt it ?? the pudding / payasam looks delectable.. and am yet to figure out what evaporated milk exactly means.. see it in so many dessert recipes... is it condensed milk or milk powder ?
Delicious and appetizing. Love the picture.
