Ada Pradhaman Recipe - Kerala Onam Recipes

Ada Pradhaman is an yummy,traditional Kerala dessert recipe (Payasam) that is made specially during Onam and Vishu.Onam sadya would not be complete without Ada pradhaman.Last year I tried Palada pradhaman by making homemade ada(Rice chips) using rice flour.This time I found a packet of readymade ada in a nearby store.So I bought them and tried both palada pradhaman( with milk & sugar) & Ada pradhaman( with coconut milk & jaggery) recipes.My job became much easier with store bought ada.I referred this blog and few video for making Ada pradhaman.It came out very well.The flavor & taste of cooked ada with jaggery syrup and coconut milk was awesome.We had two bowls of this ada payasam after having the splendid Onam Sadya lunch.Lets see the preparation of Kerala style Ada pradhaman recipe.

Total time: 30 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup - 200ml

Store bought ada- 1/2 cup
Grated Jaggery - 1 cup
Coconut milk – 2 cups
Cardamom - 2 nos ( crushed)

Cashews & raisins - optional
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Milk – as needed (optional)

METHOD

Soak the ada in hot water for 30 minutes & pressure cook it in medium flame for 1 whistle adding water twice the quantity of ada. Don’t worry even if ada turns slightly mushy because if you put them in jaggery syrup,it will separate.Remove the ada and set aside.

Chop a coconut slice into small pieces.Chop the cashews and roast everything in ghee.Add to the payasam at the end.
Slice the coconut using the back of ladle or knife OR grate a medium sized coconut.Grind it adding 1 cup of water.Strain the thick coconut milk.This is first milk.Set aside.Again grind the mixture adding 1/2 cup of water and take the second milk.Grind it again adding 1/2 cup of water and take the 3rd milk.Keep aside.

In a wide bowl,melt the jaggery and strain the syrup to remove the impurities.Add this syrup to the cooked ada.Boil well.Add the 3rd milk and boil for 2-3 minutes and add the second milk.Boil for a minute and add the first milk.Switch off the stove after adding the first milk because over boiling may curdle the mixture.Lastly add the roasted coconut pieces,cashews and raisins and add to the payasam.
