With school in full swing now, it’s time to be ready for the time kids walk in the door in the evening, plop their bags on the floor and announce, “I’m hungry!” If you usually prepare fried snacks for your kids, surprise them one day with a fragrant, lovely banana coconut payasam, made without sugar! I have to admit, this is a new flavour for me, but in a pleasant way!
