Palpayasam



Paal payasam/Palpayasam

Happy Onam to all my friends and readers!
Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Onam!!!

Onam is finally here and no celebration is complete without a sweet dessert. I am sure no Malayali can think of a sadhya without a payasam. Pal payasam is definitely a star,my all time favorite :) This is a rich delicious payasam where the rice is cooked in milk till it attains a creamy texture. The milk gets reduced and the flavor and taste is very much  like palkova. It has very little ingredients, but it is time consuming and  needs a little patience to prepare this dessert. Here I have used basmathi rice but it is best if we use payasam ari (rice) or rose matta rice.Try this you will surely love it.

Ingredients
Basmathi Rice- 2 hand full
( or rose matta rice)
Milk- 5 cup
Sugar- 1/2 cup
Cardamon crushed-4-5
Cashew nut- 8-10




Wash and soak rice for one hour. In a heavy bottom pan pour milk and bring it to a boil and allow it to reduce a bit.
Now add  rice and  and cook in low medium flame. Keep stirring occasionally till the rice is cooked completely. Add sugar and stir continuously for about 15 minutes till the payasam thickens and attains a creamy consistency.Add cardamon and  chopped cashew nuts and mix.
If you have tulsi leaves you can add two or three to give an extra flavor. The whole process will take about and hour. Serve warm.



Try this,
Hope you will all enjoy!

    1. Hi Veens,Happy Onam
      For payasam you can use any type of raw rice, Unakkalari (raw dry rice not para boiled) is best for payasam. Hope you will try and enjoy!

  32. Hi Solomonraju ji,thanks for stopping by . I have never tasted the palpayasam of Padmanabha Swami Temple. Hope I could taste it some time. But I was lucky to taste Ambalapuzha pal payasam which is considered very very delicious.

    This is just a humble version. I have no idea how they make such delicious and perfect payasams in temples :)
    It is said to be very simple with just three ingredients,rose payasam rice,milk and sugar with no flavorings. I personally feel that it all depends on their experience, technique and the time taken for the milk to condense and slightly caramelize. It is said that Ambalapuzha palpayasam cooking time is more than five hours. So much of patience and care will surely produce wonderful results.

    I will always be in the look out for the improvised versions and to make more perfect palpayasam.I will be updating here and will surely share the recipe with you. Have a nice day :)

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming. So people simply prefer to buy it from the shop. But making your own is a rewarding experience. Now many of the traditional sweets are forgotten or get overlooked for fancier ones in bakeries. But that is not the case w
