I am sure the payasam tastes as yummy as the picture. Hats off to you for trying out the claypot cooking here. Just wondering.... does it have a flat base so that heat distribution is even ? Hope to see more claypot recipes suited for the electric stoves :) Wow…. amazing idea. I am sure the payasam tastes as yummy as the picture. Hats off to you for trying out the claypot cooking here.

Another real claypot cooking by people of this generation! (I saw the first one at Gini's blog for fish curry) Just Awesome! Enjoy that, Indira! Hope you find a nice small one for making curd. I know my gran's curries are awesome - for many reasons - one of them being the clay pot. I didnt know they could be used on normal electric range. Thanks! I'll give it a try too. Sushma, that's one heck of a rice cooker! Thanks for sharing that. I've got ridden of all my nonstick stuff, but still the rice cooker still remains nonstick. That's an awesome rice cooker that you shared. Maybe I'll start saving some money towards that, eh! :) Wow! Another real claypot cooking by people of this generation!

I carried one back with me from Kerala two years ago, and amazingly enough, I got it back intact. It is very "rough & ready" - no pretty designs and no lid. Still I love it for cooking fish curry. I'd love to have another one of a different size, and maybe someday I will find another one... <i>Dear Diane: Wow! I don't know why, but I haven't paid attention to clay pot cooking goodness until now. From my next trip, I am going to bring the real deal. The one I have, I'm not 100% sure that it's from India, even though the shop owners insisted on it. -Indira</i> That is a lovely pot!

It is not something I have ever done, but I am completely intrigued now and very inspired to try it out. The payasam looks exquisite. <i>I have eaten many meals that were cooked in clay pot back at home when I was child, but this is the first time I am cooking in a clay pot. I feel like that I've achieved something very big.:) Thanks Vaishali. -Indira</i> Indira, I really enjoyed reading your description of clay pot cooking.

The curd was worth it... biryani also tastes amazing in the clay port.The clay pot is worth every penny and more Indira garu!! <i>I totally forgot about biryanis.

I remember Paati of enveetusamayal.blogspot.com has put a writeup on her blog regarding this. <i>I tried the link you have posted but couldn't find the post you have mentioned.
