Some added questions: did you pour/sprinkle water around the leaf? Put a few morsels of rice on the right side OUTSIDE the leaf?
If you did, answer (from traditions I come from, same state as your SV, just on costal side): water around leaf prevented ants and insects from coming into you leaf; the few morsels were put out there so the ants didn't go back hungry. Such concerns for little creatures while keeping hygeine in mind speak volumes. Similar traditions exists in other cultures?
On payasam: It was always served after the main course was done.
