Adai Pradaman - Adai Payasam - Kerala style Adai Pradaman with jaggery and coconut milk

Adai Pradaman is a rich and delicious dessert prepared with rice adai, jaggery and coconut milk. This payasam is a perfect dessert for special occasions and special festivals. I like the combination of rice adai with jaggery and coconut milk. If you like jaggery based desserts, I'm confident that you will love this payasam. My favourite way to enjoy this payasam is to eat it in the plantain leaf with small pieces of bananas.

To make adai pradaman, you will need rice adai, jaggery, coconut, ghee and cashew nuts. I bought this rice adai from Kottayam in Kerala. This adai is different from the tiny palada which is available in supermarkets. This rice adai looks like crushed pappads. I strongly suggest to use pagu jaggery for this payasam which gives you the perfect taste and colour to the dish. As I said in my previous payasam recipes, I recommend to extract coconut milk with freshly grated coconuts. If you are using canned coconut milk, dilute the milk with water and then add it according to your taste.

The first step is cooking the rice adais perfectly. This simple step adds beauty and taste to this recipe. Because if the adais are not cooked well, the adais will be chewy after adding it in the jaggery syrup. If the adais are overcooked, then it will turn mushy after adding it in the jaggery syrup and won't looks good. This method requires a little patience and prepare it carefully with little attention. If there is any instructions on the package, then follow it and cook the adais. Keep an eye on the adais when it starts to boil. After it reaches boiling, it begins to cook fast. Then the adais are transfered to a bowl of cold water. Always taste the adais before draining to make sure the texture is right. If you have cooked the rice adais perfectly, all the remaining procedures are similar as we prepare for other payasams. Now we will see the recipe in detail with step by step instructions.

Wheat Rava Kichadi With Vegetables - Samba Godhuma Rava Kichadi - Healthy Breakfast

A healthy diabetic friendly kichadi recipe made with wheat rava. You can start your breakfast with a cup of this healthy kichadi as it includes carrot, green peas and beans which blend together beautifully with wheat rava. A handful of fresh green peas gives a slightly sweet taste for the kichadi. There are two main varieties of wheat rava - medium coarse and fine coarse. Fine coarse wheat rava is my favourite for kichadi and upma dishes. Medium coarse wheat rava is perfect for sweet pongal and payasam. Both types require more time to cook when compared to regular white rava. Fine coarse wheat rava doesn't need to be roasted for this kichadi. To cook 1 cup fine coarse wheat rava you will need 3 cups of water. After preparing the kichadi you should let it stand for 15 minutes, covered and undisturbed for a perfect fluffy texture. And once you find how to cook wheat rava perfectly, you will be making it regularly for your breakfast. Check out my other tiffin recipes here Idli Black
