Mango Payasa | Kheer |

The simplest payasa is shavige or vermicelli payasa. Now that the the king of fruits Mango is here, I gave it a twist and made mango payasa. Since the beginning of mango season I have been trying different recipes. My all time favorite mango menaskayi, lassi, aamras and so on. The last one before the season ends is this delicious Mango Payasa/kheer. Did I say it's so easy to make and tastes divine! If you can still get hold of some ripe mangoes do try this recipe and enjoy!
