Chef Tips :
1. The jaggery has to be a lightly thick for enhanced taste. But do not overdo this step. Also, adjust water according to the type of jaggery you are using.
2. The colour of the payasam will vary depending upon the colour of jaggery.
3. Add coconut milk only after switching off the payasam to prevent curdling.
