This is very easy recipe which will take less time to prepare.Specially this can be prepared for neivedhyam  during festivals.usally i will variety of payasam recipes when ever i am wishing to have a sweet .As payasam recipes are done very fast i love to prepare these recipes.So,this time i tried with ridge gourd it gave an amazing taste.so,i am posting this for you.For the first time when i prepared with a simple mistake it did not come properly so at that time i did not post it.Again after few months i tried it came very perfectly.

The mistake what i did for the first time is in this recipe we must add rice flour paste to the payasam very slowly  .while adding we must continuously stir but with out doing that first i added rice flour paste and after few seconds i started stirring.Due the gap the rice flour paste turned into lumps.So,for the second time i did not do this mistake.

So,coming into the recipe.
