Palada | rice ada is the main ingredient of this payasam. Traditionally made in Kerala for Onam sadhya, I have posted ada pradaman recipe using jaggery and coconut milk last year. Two days back when i was cleaning my freezer, i found half packet of rice ada which i got last year. That night one of my friend visited us for dinner with her family. So i made this palada pradaman for her. We all enjoyed it. Since it is night i didn’t click the pictures. So i thought i will make this again and post. Actually planned to post yesterday but couldn’t make it as i was down with fever and cold. Today i made the palada payasam again and clicked too. Wish all my readers a very Happy Onam.
Palada payasam
Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 30 Mins |Serves: 3-4
Palada | readymade rice ada 1/4 cup
Milk 2 cups
Water 1 cup
Cardamom powder a pinch
Condensed milk 4 tblsp
Cashew nuts 4
Ghee 2 tsp
Method:
- In a pressure cooker add 1 tsp of ghee. Add the ada and saute for a minute in a low flame.
- Add 1 cup of water to this and boil for 5 minutes.
- Be careful as it will burn if the water gets evaporated.
- Add the milk to this and mix well.
- Cover the cooker. After 1 whistle , keep the flame very low for 15 minutes.
- Switch off the flame.
- Add condensed milk to this and mix well. If adding sugar add 3-4 tblsp of sugar.
- Fry the cashew nuts in 1 tsp of ghee and add it to the payasam. Add the cardamom powder too.
- Payasam is ready to serve. The payasam tends to thick when it is cool, os do not worry if it is slightly thin.
Notes:
- You can do it on stove top too. In that case cook the ada seperately drain the water and add it to the milk and cook till the milk reduces.
- Sugar can be added instead of condensed milk.
