Pradhaman Recipe : It is a native kerala dish easy to make, but need little bit of patience for the milk to condense. Ada is an ingredient made of rice. In kerala people prepare Ada at home, which is a bit painful thing.
Prakash got us Ada packets from coimbatore. There are different types of Pradhamans unique to Kerala. Some of the very famous ones being adapradhaman, chakkapradhaman, palada pradhaman, parippu pradhaman, idichu pizhinja payasam, aval pradhaman, wheat Pradhaman, etc.
