As discussed already that I love payasam to the core and this time thought of trying out different, as tamilian for me this palada payasam is something new that I got to know from one my Malayali friend, she prepared for me when I had a visit to her home. Palada is nothing but rice flakes, most common among keralites. It taste delicious, but this happened long back almost six yrs back. But now after blogging, suddenly it came to my mind and thought of preparing it.

Heard that the process of preparing this dish was little difficult and we need more and more patience for it. Coming to the word “Patience”, I never have it in my dictionary, so thought of trying it in pressure cooker, also I was little nervous since my first time in preparation but never expected the result, payasam came out well with delicious taste, wonderful fragrance, attractive color, perfect texture and the most important it took out just 20 mins to cook.
