Palada payasam recipe is a simple yet delicious milk based payasam made with ada,sugar and milk as main ingredients.Pradhaman means payasam and this palada pradhaman is a very popular payasam made during Onam.

This method of payasam making was suggested to me by my friend Ganga and it is sure a keeper to try for all payasam recipes.Thank you so much Ganga.As Onam is round the corner thought of posting this easy palada pradhaman recipe.The traditional method involves cooking milk for a longer time to get the creamy texture, but this pressure cooker method is easy as it needs no much supervision.

This version is quick and rich to be made. This time I used the left over readymade ada for the payasam, you can make homemade ada too.Check other version of palada pradhaman.You can check the traditional ada pradhaman payasam too.
