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.

Collection of Poriyal & Thoran - South Indian Vegetable Side Dishes for Lunch

Every day we prepare two varieties of vegetable side dishes for our lunch. Among those two varieties there must be a poriyal dish and the other one is kootu, aviyal or varuval. Varieties of poriyal dishes are countless with our seasonal vegetables. As I said in my poriyal or thuvaram dishes, we add the ground coconut mixture prepared with coconut, small onions, garlic cloves and red chilly or green chilly. This unique coconut paste is often used in our poriyal or thuvaram dishes. Some prefer to add grated coconut or desiccated coconut powder for poriyal dishes. I actually don't like poriyal dishes made without any flavours. For me, poriyal must have a mix of flavours with perfect textures. We usually precook the vegetables in a vessel (except for keerai poriyal) and then we saute it with the tempering ingredients and finished with our coconut mixture. If you find it difficult to precook the vegetables, you can prepare as you like. But actually pre cooking the ...
