476: KADALA PARIPPU PRADHAMAN /Chenna Dhal Payasam


Onam is a harvest festival and is the biggest celebration of state Kerala.  Kadalaparippu Pradhaman is another classic dessert or traditional Payasam of Kerala. Every Onam I try to make different kinds of Pradhaman or Payasam, Here I’m sharing my recipe for Paruppu Pradhaman. Wishing all Keralites a Happy and Prosperous Onam.

Ingredients:

Kadala Paruppu / Chenna Dhal      1 cup
Water                                          2 cups
Jaggery                                       300 gms
Thick Coconut milk                       1 cup
Thin Coconut milk                        2 cups
Powdered Cardamom                   2 Tsp.
Dry Ginger Powder                       ½ Tsp. 
Coconut slices                             1 Tbsp.
Ghee                                          3 Tbsp.
Cashew nuts                                2 Tbsp. 

Method:

  • Wash the Chenna dhal thoroughly. Pressure cooks it with 2cups of water for 3 whistles on medium high heat.
  • Meantime, boil the jaggery in 1 cup of water so that it melts completely.  Filter it and keep aside.
  • Open the cooker lid, and check the dhal. The dhal should be well cooked but should not become a paste.
  • Mash the chana dal with the back of a wooden spoon. Do not mash it to a very smooth paste.
  • Heats a wide pan add the 2 tbsp. of ghee, cooked dhal and jaggery.
  • Now pour the thin coconut milk, keep stirring, lower the heat to low and cook till the mixture has slightly thickened.
  • Now add cardamom powder and dry ginger powder to the mixture. Combine well.
  • Reduce heat and add the Thick coconut milk. Mix well and remove from the heat after a minute. DO NOT BOIL.
  • Heat 1 tsp of ghee in another pan and roast the Cashew nuts and coconut, add it to the Pradhaman
  • Drizzle 1 tbsp. ghee over the mixture.
  • Serve in a dessert bowl.

Note:

Adjust the jaggery and coconut milk according to your preference.
