Sago Payasam

 

Kadalai paruppu payasam

                                                                          This payasam is made with Channa Dal(kadalai paruppu)and jaggery.It is made on all auspicious days and functions.It is quiet simple and easy to make.You can make this on Navratri days,Ganesh chathurthi,Krishna jayanthi and many other .

Akkaravadisal

                                                               Akkaravadisal is a popular Iyengar sweet.You must have tasted it in a lot of vaishnav temples as prasadam.It is similar to sarkarai pongal except that it is cooked in water for sarkarai pongal whereas the Rice and Dal are cooked in milk for Akkaravadisal.In the original recipe, it is sweetened with Jaggery while I have used Sugar. You can use either one.

Payatham Paruppu Payasam

                                                                           Payatham Paruppu or Paasi Paruppu payasam(yellow Moong dal) is the easiest paruppu payasam to make.Today being Friday of Tamil Aadi Masam I made this Payasam. My daughter loves payasam with Jaggery.This payasam is made in most of the festivals at home.It is also called "Payatham Kanji"and made on fasting days especially on sivarathri.(while  making payatham kanji ususally they do not add cardamom powder)
I have added milk to this payasam you can either add milk or coconut milk to it.If you are adding coconut milk do not heat it too much after adding the coconut milk.

Badam Kheer/Almond Kheer

Badam Kheer is a very easy and  rich payasam or kheer made with almond paste and milk.I make this often especially during navrathri. i make a lot to give people when they come home.
My mother also used to make it in bulk and store in the refrigerator during navrathri(i do the same).It is one of the tasty payasam that i like.I like it cold and hot, it tastes very good both ways.It is perfect drink to offer during festivals.

ARISI THENGAI PAYASAM/AADI VELLI SPECIAL

                                                                           I decided to make a simple vella payasam today for Aadi vellikizhamai since vella payasam is(amman) ambal's favourite neivedhyam.My mother used to make this payasam during aadi vellikizhamai and during navrathri also.Let us see how i made it.

Paruppu Payasam with Coconut Milk

                                                            I have already posted Thengai pal Payasam/Aadi pandigai Recipe this is another one in which you do not want to make full Thengai pal you can make this paruppu payasam with coconut milk.Today being aadi masa pirappu i made it and sharing the recipe with you all.

Paal Payasam with Condensed Milk

                                                                         Recently I had this Paal Payasam (milk Kheer) in a wedding, it was soo yummy ! I wanted to have it again and was waiting for an opportunity .Today, being Ugadi, my neighbors had invited all of us for lunch. I wanted to make a sweet and take it to her house.I made this paal payasam in kerela style - totally milky, with no other aromatic spices.
There are two ways of making it. First, one where you reduce the milk to half by heating it and then adding sugar.The second one is where you reduce the milk a little and then adding condensed milk which makes it thicker and tastier.When you are using condensed milk there is no need to add sugar.

Semolina Pudding/Rawa Payasam

                                                                  Wish you all a Very Happy New Year.I was planning to make a cake for the new years but was not able to because of time constraint.I thought let me start the new year with a little sweet and after seeing the lovely posts of different kinds of payasam(pudding,kheer)in all the other blogs i thought let me make this one at least. It was very yummy yet simple and fast to make!!

Aval/Rice Flakes Payasam

                                                               
                                                                    Aval or Rice flakes is flattened rice which is used to make a lot of snacks which is easily digestible.It is Lord Krishna's Favourite snack too.Aval Payasam is made during Krishna Jayanthy(krishna's birthday).Aval cooks really fast so the payasam also is simple and fast one.

Kalkandu Pongal

Kalkandu is nothing but the crystallised form of sugar or Rock Candy. Kalkandu Pongal is a simple sweet made with Rice, Milk and Kalkandu. I have tasted this often in weddings, but we have not made this (often) at home or even during any festival.

Semiya Payasam/Kheer/Vermicelli milk pudding

                                                                  This Payasam or kheer or pudding  is the most simple,fast and easiest one to make.Now that you get Roasted Vermicelli in the stores it becomes even more easier.

Ada Pradaman/Onam Recipes

                                                                Pradaman is payasam in Malayalam.Tomorrow being Onam I thought let me try out this recipe.I bought the ready made Ada that is available in stores and boiled it and mixed with jaggery and coconut milk and garnished with cardamom powder and edible camphor.

Elanir Payasam

Elanir payasam is the most easiest payasam to make.There is not much cooking involved while making this, I learnt this from a friend from chettinad.Since it is summer time i thought this would be ideal to post this for the fact that it is a sweet as well as light and cooling.There is no ghee or extra sugar so you can really binge on it!!!
