PALADA PAYASAM RECIPE | PRESSURE COOKER METHOD

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

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:

1. 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.
2. Sugar can be added instead of condensed milk.

PUDALANGAI FRY | SNAKE GOURD CURRY RECIPE

We always make snake gourd curry in the same way we make beans curry. Also we make snake gourd kootu too. This pudalangai fry i learnt from a very good friend of mine, recently. The way she told me about the recipe, tempted me to try it immediately. Since i had small fresh snake gourd at home gave this this a try yesterday and clicked too. I was busy for the past 3 days and couldn't concentrate on blog much. I went for a trip to India to attend a wedding with my friends. A discussion about my recently published cookbook was arranged by Vikatan publications. It was Live Radio discussion with culinary expert Revathi Shanmugam. On the day before wedding, my husband's grandmother passed away and i couldn't attend the wedding. Since the radio program was planned before hand i have to attend it. It went well and i will soon the audio file with you all. These 3 days trip was full of mixed emotions, Started my work from today.

KOKI RECIPE | SINDHI KOKI RECIPE

Koki roti, i first tasted in Kailash parbat Singapore. I vividly remember, one day me and hubby went for shopping and were very hungry after that. Went into Kailash Parbat, ordered a chaat platter , lassi and this koki too. But after the lassi and chaat platter we can't finish the koki roti as it was loaded with ghee. It was so nice and from that day itself i wanted to try this at home. Koki is traditonally a Sindhi recipe. I finally tried this last week. We all enjoyed this at home. Traditionally it is shalow fried in ghee, but i didn't do it at home. But if you like, you can add more ghee while cooking. Though u see cracks in the edges of the roti, it was very soft and not dry. The method by which we make makes it to look like that. Try it at home and let me know how they turned out. I slightly adapted the recipe from a Sanjeev kapoor's recipe.

SUKKU MALLI COFFEE | SUKKU KAAPI RECIPE

I was first introduced to this coffee(kapi, to be more precise in tamil) by our neighbour aunty. Sukku is dry ginger and malli means coriander seeds. I have told about her in this vadai post too. Almost every week aunty makes this and brings piping hot sukku kaapi in the evening for my mom and paati in a big vessel. Initially me and sister will not even taste this as we feel that it is not meant for us. But aunty and even their daughters who are of the same age always tell us to try this kaapi. This drink has medicinal values too. It relives headaches, aids in digestion and keeps you energitic. This can be made with simple ingredients available at home. Slowly me and my sister started liking this and after that forgot about that. After so many years i made this today. It was raining heavily for tha past 3 days and thought this will be perfect one to enjoy this weather. When i had the first sip, it gave me lot of nostalgic memories of our childhood in our Madurai house.
