Batavi Payasa | Semolina chunks Payasa |

ಬಟವಿ ಪಾಯಸ |
Yet another payasa recipe which can be made on any festival. Today it’s first day of deepavali (neeru tumbuva habba or dhanteras) and also it happens to be my first son’s birthday (17th oct) today.
Therefore for lunch I made this payasa and cabbage rice (one of his favourite). and for dinner I have different plan.
Batavi payasa is my paternal grand mother’s favourite and I learnt it from her. To make it easier for you all I have made a video on how to make batavi, please go through it.
