Pradhaman, where coconut milk is used is very famous in Kerala. Kerala,being the land of coconuts, have variety of pradhamans. I have blogged about pazha pradhaman earlier. Here is the recipe for another popular pradhaman with broken wheat as the base. I have used wheat rava in place of broken wheat.
Ingredients
Broken wheat - 1/3 cup
Jaggery =3/4 cup
Coconut milk - 200 ml (Ii used store bought)
Ghee - 1 tblpspn
Cardamom powder - 1tspn
water to melt jaggery and cook wheat
Method
Roast broken wheat /rava in a tablespoon of ghee till you can smell the aroma of roasted wheat.
Don't roast it to brown. Pressure cook the roasted with enough water. This is the first time I used store bought coconut milk. I reserved around 100 ml for thick milk. I diluted the remaining with water into two parts - thin and slightly thick versions.

Melt jaggery in a pan with 1/4 cup of water. Strain and add cooked wheat with a cup of thin coconut milk.Cook on low flame till the mixture thickens and by then the wheat would have soaked up the jaggery syrup well. Add second extract of coconut milk (slightly thick). Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Add the thick milk and remove from fire. Stir in cardamom powder.

ReplyDeleteI have made this in milk with jaggery and haven't had it for ages! This is a tasty version, and I just love the flavor of jaggery!
ReplyDeletedelicious. cold godhi payasa with little bit of roasted cashews will do for me;)
ReplyDeleteSuparna, Welcome to my blog. Thanks for your comment. Most of the payasam in Kerala, that uses jaggery is prepared with coconut milk. the combo of jaggery and coconut milk lends a unique taste to the dish.
ReplyDeleteHarini, for a vegan, this combo of jaggery and coconut milk suits the best. And it definitely enhances the taste than the usual milk.
Oh yummy! Store bought coconut milk makes life so easy no? Have never tried in India - as there are heaps of coconuts and always help around for breaking and grating!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Your blog has contributed variety to my kitchen more than once. Thanks a bunch! Happened to make this same dish yesterday and today happened to see this in your blog. I used normal milk though (blame that on my laziness :D). Coconut milk will definitely give a richer taste
ReplyDeleteNever heard it with coconut milk. I know it'll be richer taste. Healthy and decious recipe.
