Many years back, I mean more than 10 yrs, I heard my fried saying she had a several servings of red rice flakes payasam in an lunch get together. She asked me to try as well, but I did not take it serious as I make aval payasam very often. In recent few years only I have started buying red rice flakes and mostly make upma or north Indian style poha. I prepare whenever I feel like having something filling. But this is the first time I am making payasam and totally in love with it. So much flavour and texture in it.
