Palada is my favorite payasam ..When u think of sadya first u remember about this right .. ..I think like me many of u love this delicious ,mouth watering palada payasam….There is no such big deal in making this ..So when u feel like drinking ur fav payasam try this .

 

 

 

Ingredients

Palada Pradhaman

Palada Pradhaman

Ada-200gm( small ada)

Milk-3 L

Sugar – according to ur taste)

Salt-one pinch

Ghee-1tbsp

Water-1/2 L

Method

At first pour milk and sugar to a pressure cooker and allow to boil ,stirring occasionally.

When started to boil , close the cooker and cook the milk in very very low flame for 1 hour with the whistle ..

Then switch off the fire and let the pressure settle down.

Mean while boil water in a vessel and then add  ada .

Ada

Ada

Cook till the ada become very soft to touch ..

Then remove from the fire and drain it ..Pour plenty of water on to the cooked ada ..Drain and Cool well …

Cooked Ada

Cooked Ada

Then take a Uruli or deep bottomed nonstick kadai and heat the ghee and add the cooked ada.

ADA

ADA

Stir well for 5 min in medium heat   and then add sugar (according to ut taste ) and salt …

Stir well for 15 to 20 minutes .

By that time the pressure will be normal,so open the cooker ..

Now u can see the milk to be in pale pink color..

So add the milk to the ada  and mix well .

At this point u can see the ada lumps in the milk..

So using two spatulas slowly press the ada lumps so that it will be separated from each other ..

Stir the payasam till it reduced to about 2 L

(Have to stir min half an hour) … ..Don`t make it very thick ..Make medium consistency payasam .

It  is tastier than thick payasam (anyway that depends up on person to person)…

So ur delicious palada pradhaman is ready

Note : In authentic sadya palada pradhaman we never use ghee ..only ada ,milk and sugar .. But its very difficult to make ,so I am doing this ..

The taste is not exactly the  same still do 90% justice 🙂

Palada Pradhaman

Palada


Note

The benefit of cooking in the pressure cooker is that we can save time with out stirring all the time..And because of that only u are getting that pink shade ..

Love

  4. For traditional palada no cashew, no cardamom, and no raisions,also no butter or ghee.

    only sugar milk and ada are the ingrediants – better avoid ghee-it is not suitable for palada

    i felt this good when prepared second time without ghee

    Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great images or video clips to give
    your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could undeniably be one of

  34. Dear Veena, This recipe is epic. My husband is a good cook and only by making this payasam your way could I regain my status as a O.K. cook, no doubt my payasam came out as epic as seen in your picture. But off lately, the milk after boiling in the cooker perfectly, gets split after the one hour low flame procedure. Do you have any suggestions and recommendations?

  62. Hi Veena,
    Very nice and easy to understand recipes. Watched your video multiple times and tried this palada recipe twice today. The colour is great but the milk seems to be splitting every time. 1hr low fire but 7-8 whistles. No idea what went wrong.

  65. Hi Veena Chechi,
    Today, I made palada payasam for the first time. I made it in an instant pot. The milk turned out perfect! But I added cooked ada in it and by the time the milk was done, all the ada dissolved into the milk. Is there way I can fix this? Can I cook some more ada and add it into the milk?
