If you’re enjoying an Onam Sadya, chances are you’re digging into different types of desserts. And one of the most loved among these is Ada Pradhaman, a rice pudding made from rice flakes (ada). Richer and creamier than most payasams (or kheer), Ada Pradhaman is easy to make, and can be adapted for vegan diets by replacing ghee with coconut oil.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Cook the rice ada

Break the rice ada into small pieces and rinse under water. Heat two cups of water in a pan and bring to a boil. Add the rinsed ada into the water and stir well. Cook for 7-8 minutes until the rice is soft but not mushy. Keep mixing to ensure the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 2: Strain the cooked rice ada

Once the rice is cooked (soft but not mushy), transfer it to a strainer and rinse with cold water. This is important to prevent the rice from cooking further. Now set it aside.

Step 3: Make the jaggery syrup

In a pan, mix jaggery and water and cook on a low flame. Keep cooking till the jaggery completely melts.

Step 4: Prepare the Pradhaman

Add cooked rice ada into the jaggery syrup and mix well. Cook on a low flame for 3 to 4 minutes before adding thin coconut milk, cardamom powder, and dry ginger powder (if using).
