Chinga Piravi Special -Palada Pradaman (White Ada Kheer)

Making Palada Prathaman

Store bought Ada – 1 Cup (Any Kerala brand  Ada will do. I used Nirapara brand)

Whole Milk –  5 Cups

Water – 1 Cup

Sugar – 3- 4 Cups (According to taste u can reduce or increase the quantity of sugar)

Butter –  4tsps.

1.       Boil Milk and water

2.       Mix Ada in to this.

3.       Keep stirring till milk is reduced by 2/3. By this time the milk color will turn to pink  (it will take around 30 minutes)

4.       Add sugar and mix well

5.       Add butter let it melt its own.

6.       Serve hot / chill.  

You can use store bought Ada or make Ada from Scratch. My friend made this Pradaman from scratch and I am attaching her recipe below. 

Making batter for the Ada

Raw Rice – 2 Cups

Sugar – 2 Cups

Ghee – 4 tsp

Sugar – 4 tsp

Soak rice for 2 hours. Stain well. Grind in to fine powder and sieve through a fine sieve. Now add 4tsp of melted ghee, 4 tsp of sugar and hot water to get the consistency like chappathi batter.

 Making the Ada

Cut the plantain leaves in to squares. Hold them on the fire for a few seconds to make them flexible.

Boil water in a big vessel. Take small sized portions (Lemon size)of batter and spread on the back side of the leaves. Immediately drop in the boiling water. When ada is well cooked it will float on the water.

Drain the water and chop the ada.
