Elaneer means Tender Coconut. Elaneer Payasam is a traditional sweet / dessert from South India. I had this first at a South Indian Restaurant and since then I was after the recipe. Finally I made this by reading almost 15-20 recipes.
Elaneer Payasam is a very simple and quick recipe, yet very delicious. It can also prove to be a classy and elegant addition to your party menu.
