Let me elaborate on how the palada pradhaman is actually preapred. Milk,sugar and rice chips together is simmered until it thickens to a creamy pink colored texture. That Pink Colour and creamy texture is so attractive and is a perfect ending for sadhya. rice ada is nothing but rice flakes. rice is soaked, ground made a past, flattened, cooked and cut to flakes which is lengthy process. I have used instant rice ada here.

Some tips on getting the pink color of payasam – Pink color just comes out of the caramelization of the sugar. normally, when milk is simmered for hours, it thickens and reduces to less than half and also sugar gets caramelized and it turns pink. But this is easier version to get taste and also color of the  pradhaman.

I got this tip of adding sugar caramel adding more sugar caramel will give you dark pink payasam but make sure it might give a bitter taste as well. So, limit adding the sugar caramel until you get the exact light pink colour. It is when we travel to kerala, everytime, we stop at Priya palada centre near ottapalam and use to have palada hot! they are super yummy and tasty.
