I would have never thought of using chow chow in a payasam. That is such an innovative dessert. Looks yumm!!
I am really stunned. I love chow chow but never thought of using it in kheer. Thanks a lot for sharing this bookmarked recipe. Now I am going to bookmark it. :-)
Never thought of making a sweet out of chow chow. That's an innovative dish and the payasam looks delicious.
Very interesting and innovative Payasam..like Pavani says I could never ever dream of it.
