Elaneer payasam is an easy sweet/ dessert to prepare, yet an impressive one. Full video and step by step pictures recipe.

Tender coconut with its refreshing water is by itself tasty with all its coolant effect to our body added to it. Here, we are just mixing it with few simple other ingredients to make elaneer payasam. I guess this is served in buffet spreads, marriage and other functions. I have not tasted and this is the first time I am making and tasting this(Adapted from here). When I made elaneer sorbet, I thought I must try this too, but I am just trying out.

As a kid, my parents made us drink lots of tender coconut water very often in summer. Some varieties will be just like soda with a tingling effect when we have it. I also remember my relatives house where they have back yard with coconut trees, they make sure we drink one or two whenever we visit them. They ask their helping men to get freshly and give it to us😍. This time I am going to have lots of tender coconut water whenever possible during our visit to India next month.

Finally I have my video with background music, thanks to Aj, he took Mother's day as an opportunity to make me this music using his mobile app 🙂
