Kerala Paal Payasam Recipe

kerala paal payasam

Kerala paal payasam recipe - Paal payasam is a must have for Onam sadya and tastes just like the famous Ambalapuzha paal payasam. Paal or ari payasam is made with chemba pachari and not with basmati rice or white rice unlike Kheer.

Making paal payasam in the pressure cooker gives it a pale color and the rice will be cooked perfectly. I like a slightly thicker paal payasam, but if you prefer thinner payasam either reduce the rice by 2 tbsp or add about half cup milk towards the end of the cooking.

Wanted to show, how chemba pachari looks in case you are not familiar with it.

I hope your Onam will be special with my paal payasam. Check out semiya payasam made in pressure cooker and Pazham pradhaman (banana payasam)


Kerala Paal Payasam Recipe


PREP TIME: 05 mins    |  COOK TIME: 40 mins    |  AUTHOR::
  kerala paal payasam  

  INGREDIENTS

  • Chemba pachari: 1/2 cup
  • Milk: 1 1/2 liters
  • Sugar: 1 cup
  • Ghee: 1 tbsp
  • Cardamon: 3-4
  • Cashewnuts and raisins: 1 tbsp each


  METHOD:

  1. Add milk, sugar, and chemba pachari in a pressure cooker and when steam comes, simmer for 30 mins.
  2. After 30 mins switch off the flame, and open the cooker only after another 30 minutes.
  3. After 30 minutes open the cooker and put it on low flame. Heat ghee and add in cardamon, cashewnuts, and raisins. Once they are lightly browned pour into the payasam. Serve hot.
  4. Enjoy your Onam with homemade paal payasam.

NOTES

  • Traditionally chemba pachari is used to make paal payasam; if you use raw rice/basmati rice etc you will not get the authentic Kerala paal payasam taste.
  • This payasam has the similar taste of Ambalapuzha paal payasam.
  • Adjust the consistency of the payasam with extra milk or less rice.

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
