How to Cook Simple Indian Ada-Pradhamman Kheer 

          We will start with a delicious sweet dish once again. Though most of us are familiar with many kheer, I have found that the kheer just doesn't taste as good. My beautiful and talented niece says "Aunty's payasam tastes like an ice cream. " My sons say "Mummy's special kheer  nobody else makes it as delicious and lips smacking."
           I love festivals and plan the menu for the festive feast and especially try for  sweet treats that I'm yet to blog. Simple Indian Ada-pradhamman is a traditional South Indian sweet dish that I prepared for our Onam festive meal. It is absolutely mouth watering. You can have this kheer after the meal or at any time. It is tasty when it is either hot or chilled.
          Simple Indian Ad-Pradhamman is prepared with the cooked Ada (made of flakes of cooked rice) that is roasted in jaggery syrup ,slowly simmered in coconut milk and ghee , flavored with aromatic cardamom and garnished with toasted cashew nuts and raisins. It is simple to prepare,quick,comforting and delicious with a heavenly aroma !!!

Kitchen Tips :-

• When you prepare any type of kheer , it is good to add a small tin of condensed milk at the last stage.This is a wonderful kitchen tip.
• Another important tip is that you can prepare the jaggery syrup and keep in the refrigerator one week before the preparation.In such a way you can reduce the cooking time.
• If you are conscious about your health ( cholesterol) , you can substitute the low fat cow's milk for the coconut milk.This is another healthy kitchen tip.
