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.

The best thing about Onam is the variety of payasam that are made and I thought I will share my easy  Pazham Pradhaman Payasam otherwise known as Banana Payasam , so that you can try this and make and serve along with your Onam Sadya. Banana is locally known as Ethapazham or Nethrapazham and the star in this payasam. I made this payasam, for my MIL's birthday and it just took under 50 minutes to make the payasam and it tasted so yummy that I had to share it for you. Your, Thiruvona Sadya would be incomplete without this traditional payasam. The only difficult part is scraping out two whole coconuts  for coconut milk, so I did that a day before and refrigerated it. I first thought of making the payasam entirely with ripe banana , but after discussing with amma, I decided to add 1/2 cup of cherupayar parippu  and I have to tell you that amma was so right, it tasted so yum that my kids are demanding me to make again for Thiruvonam...yes, you have to try it and...

Payasam is a healthy dessert of Kerala, you can call it a traditional dessert. Cherupayar parippu payasam is an Onam special...cherupayar parippu (yellow moong dal-lentil) is fried lightly in ghee and cooked in coconut milk with jaggery (sharkara) and spiced with roasted coconut bits, dry ginger etc. Onam is just around the corner, and it is incomplete without payasam...try this traditional and easy semiya payasam for Onam. This dessert is a traditional dessert .........payasam can be made with milk and coconut milk. Usually semiya or rice payasam is made with milk which is known as kheer in North India, but here in Kerala most of the payasams are made with coconut milk and jaggery (sharkara) as the sweetener....thus making it a healthy dessert!! A quick note, thought traditionally, payasam is made in a heavy uruli and the dal is cooked slowy.....it needs a lot of time and patience, here I am cooking the dal in a pressure cooker, a quicker way of making payasam. Too...

Easy Pressure Cooker Semiya Payasam  is one of the best delights of Onam. Today is "Atham", people start Onam festivities by putting pookalam or floral carpet in front of their homes to welcome Mahabali. I am sharing pressure cooker semiya payasam (kheer) for my friends today. Amma used to make this payasam since my childhood. This is entirely cooked in a pressure cooker and not with condensed milk, though the taste of the payasam makes you wonder if there is condensed milk in it. This payasam have the same taste of ambalapuzha paal payasam or that's what those who taste this states. Since milk and sugar is pressure cooked for 30 min and opened after another 30 min, the milk will turn light pinkish in colour and slightly thicker. I used homogenized milk and added only a teaspoon of ghee to lightly fry the cashewnuts and raisins. If you are using plain vermicili do not forget to fry them in a tsp of ghee, I used roasted vermicili. From my...
