Pazham Pradhaman

Delicious kerala special Pazham pradhaman made with Kerala banana(plantain)

Kerala sadya would be incomplete without payasam. We used to prepare many varieties of kheer( payasam) for festivals like onam,vishu etc… I have tried some payasam recipes and you can get it from here. Payasam recipe collection Pazham pradhaman is a simple and variety kheer made with nenthrapazham(plantain). We can prepare pazham pradhaman with so many varieties like plantain with dates, with mung dal(cherupayar parippu) etc… But here I used plantain only. It will take around 40 minutes to prepare this pazham pradhaman. Hope you will like this recipe.
