Nendra Pazham is the Kerala special banana Last week I brought it from KeralaIt become ripe. So Today for my Poornima Puja I prepared this Payasam/ Pradhaman as Neividhyam. Pradhaman is basically payasam prepared with coconut milk.The flavour of jaggery and coconut milk together with the sweet ripe plantains, Made this payasam just divine.
