This evening we attended a\u00a0Mediterranean\u00a0cooking class\/contest at the best Mediterranean restaurant in my city: Aroma&#8217;s. Last year, I had once dined at Aroma&#8217;s; the ambience, the food, the crew, everything is so great and it&#8217;s one of my favorite restaurants. For the cooking class, there were total 30 people. We had to make a 4 course meal, so we formed into different teams.\u00a0I was in the soup team and my man in the main course team. We were given the recipe and all the instructions. I had so much fun chopping the veggies for making the butternut squash soup. After all the cooking fun, we played some games as well. All the dishes tasted delicious and we enjoyed it like anything.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone loves tapioca pearls??? One of the most popular desserts in Kerala is &#8216;Payasam&#8217; which is made during special\u00a0occasions\u00a0and festivals. In that tapioca pearls are also added along with vermicelli or semiya. Now if I add vermicelli to the payasam, my hubby cannot have it as it&#8217;s wheat based. So, I tried making the payasam just with tapioca pearls. I had to soak the tapioca pearls in water for a few hours till it swells up and turns soft. It was then combined with milk and condensed milk, cooked for sometime and then finished it off with roasted almonds. It tasted yummy especially when chilled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tapioca Pearl Payasam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11006\" title=\"tapioca pearl-pudding\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/tapioca-pearl-pudding1.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/tapioca-pearl-pudding1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/tapioca-pearl-pudding1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/tapioca-pearl-pudding1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tapioca pearls or sabudana or sago &#8211;
