I used to buy priya brand palada which is very good for
palada pradhaman. You can see the instructions on the packet itself.
Ingredients:
Palada
: 1 pkt
Milk
: 2 ltrs
Condensed milk : 1
can
Sugar
: ½ kg
Cashew
: 10 pcs
Raisins
: 2 tbsp
Caradamom :
5 pods
Ghee
: 1 tbsp
Method:
Soak the palada in hot water for 20 mins. Drain the water. Rinse it in cold water.
In a thick bottomed pan add milk and palada
and cook in a medium flame till the palada becomes soft. After 20-25 mins the milk gets reduced to half of the quantity.
Mix the condensed milk with 1 cup of water and pour this to
the palada. Add sugar and let it boil for 5 more mins,stir it frequently . Remove from fire.
Fry the cashews (broken) and raisins in the ghee and pour it
over the payasam. Grind the cardamom along with 1 tbsp of sugar and sprinkle it
over the payasam. Serve it hot or cold.
