Masala Vadai and Rice n Dal Payasam

Vadai and Payasam are traditional recipes, i use to make both these recipes for all festivals and functions. I couldnot separate both the recipes its like husband and wife, even you can notice everybody says it together as vadai payasam. Both the recipes are perfect for all Occassions and Vadai taste good esp on rainy day evening with masala tea. My Hubby likes Masala vadai, simply he will have the vadai alone but for him it shouldn't be too strong and spicy. Here am sharing both the recipes together.
