For the letter L,I was clueless as there is no Tamil ingredients except Lavangam.One of my friend suggested to make Lehiyam.But some of the ingredients are not in stock in my pantry so changed to make something with lemon.Finalised to make lemon sevai with ready made rice noodles.Couple of days before,I boiled the water and added the rice noodles,covered it.As the noodles  needs to remain in the hot water for 10 minutes.But I forgot to put off the flame,and left the kitchen,the noodles cooked mushy and ended up in making payasam.
