How The Banana Goes To Heaven. Thursday, September 21, 2006. Payasam - Food of the gods and the worlds oldest dessert. A result so heavenly that it is food fit for the gods!

What else would abound in God’s own country but God’s own food? The king agreed – he had to because his opponent wanted nothing else. Naturally the rishi won. But when...And of cour...
