Paal Payasam Recipe(Kerala Style), Ambalappuzha Paal Payasam
During Onam 2016 many of us may make “Payasam” which is a very important dish which is Present in Onasadya feast. Generally, onam sadya people make varieties of Payasam but this Paal Payasam Recipe is a unique type of Kerala Payasam made of Unakkalari(Payasam rice) also called chemma pachar.
The delicious Paal Payasam is very rich and Creamy because of the Paal(milk ) is in the form of Very thick called Paal Kurukiyathu. Milk is almost cooked with rice for 30 mins to make it thicker and creamier. To make the ‘process Simple and Easy I have made this in Paal Payasam in Pressure Cooker. Maybe this is a shortcut method of Paal Payasam Making in Uruli but no compromise in taste almost same taste.
Being a Tamilian making Kerala Style dishes for Onam is really challenging. My Malu friends are helping me and Supporting me to make it successful. Each and every dishes am tasting at their homes and making them. I hope everyone can make after seeing my videos and pictures.
Athapookolam to Onam Sadya everything I would love to learn. I wanted to wish my friends and readers in Malayalam so quickly asked my friend “How to say Happy Onam in Malayalam” “nanma niranja ponnonam asamsikkunnu“ she replied. Hopefully, I delivered my Onam Wishes to you all 🙂
Ambalappuzha Paal Payasam is made by a friend and we both clicked it together. I really a wonderful experience that I asked many questions while making because I wanted to give a proper recipe here. This is a traditional Variety of Paal Payasam makes in Uruli. About 3-litre milk should boil to 1-litre milk to make Payasam. Now a day no one has that much patience but at the same time, we need nice and tasty payasam too. This payasam we can make in almost 30-40 mins. Milk and rice are being cooked for 30 mins in low flame.
To make Pink Paal Payasam we need chemma pachari a rice variety which good for making payasam. It gives nice pink colour to the payasam. I bought this rice here in LuLu HyperMarket KL to make payasam. Do give a try for this Onam and let me know your feedback how it tastes?
