You're absolutely right—food has an incredible way of bringing back memories, especially the ones tied to home and love. Your connection with payesh/payasam/kheer is beautiful, as it’s not just about the taste but the warmth of your mother’s love in every spoonful.

For me, it’s dal baati churma—a dish that instantly takes me back to my childhood. The aroma of fresh baatis being roasted, the rich texture of dal, and the sweetness of churma remind me of home, family gatherings, and the comfort of my mother’s cooking. Every bite feels like a warm hug from her.

I’d love to hear more about your mom’s payesh—does she have a special way of making it? Any secret ingredient she adds?
