Arisi thengai payasam is a very common one in most of the Brahmin houses. We make this for most of the festivals . For Karthigai Deepam we make Pori urundai, Nei appam and along with this my mom makes this Arisi thengai payasam too. My mil's place we mostly make paruppu payasam. As Karthigai deepam 2014 is coming on Dec 5 i thought i will post this recipe of thengai payasam which is a long pending for me to post. Check out my other Karthigai Deepam recipes:

Notes
- If you want you can add milk to the payasam in the last. If adding so ensure both the milk and the jaggery mixture is completely cool. Else the milk will curdle.
- After adding milk do not reheat.
- A pinch of edible camphor can be added to the payasam to enhance the flavour. Do not add more.
