Sago / Javvarisi Payasam

                       Sago is called Javvarisi in Tamil and the big one named Anai Kan Javvarisi is used for Payasams.

                      Sago Payasam is one of the Payasams, that can be cooked fast and easy.Some four or five decades back, when people had just started using sugar, this Payasam , made with sugar seemed elegant.

                   This is also a good Neivedhiyam to be offered to God.
