5 Payasam For Your Onam Celebrations  

By Sushmita Sengupta

The 10-day long Malayali harvest festival of Onam is here, the festival has many rituals, Onam Sadya being one. This multicourse meal has many kinds of Payasam that are a must try.  

Paal Payasam

This rice and milk pudding is fan-favourite for its simplicity. Ghee, cashew nuts, and cardamoms add to flavour. 

Semiya Payasam

Not a fan of rice, no problem. Semiya or vermicelli, condensed milk, ghee, cashew, and raisins make just a fine bowl of payasam. 

Chakka Payasam

Chakka means jackfruit. It is the magic of jackfruit, coconut and jaggery that sets this pudding apart

Moong Dal Payasam

The smooth puree of moong dal combined with ghee,cashew nuts, and cardamom makes the golden pudding, oh-so-special. 

Ada Pradhaman

 Boiled ada, coconut milk, jaggery, cashew and raisins make this dessert all things indulgent and festive.
