According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Hi Shaan, I am a recent visitor on your website. Thanks for all the recipes. I totally appreciate the quick and easy ones. 🙂 I am planning to make this payasam for some guests for dinner. Just wanted to know if I can substitute the coconut milk for dairy milk. Sarah.
Hi Sarah, Thanks for the feedback. Do not use dairy milk for pazham pradhaman. It will curdle because we are adding jaggery in it.
Thanks Shaan.
Dairy milk + jattery = curdled mix
That explains the disaster when I tried making pesaha paal last time!
Will get on to make coconut milk then. Thanks for the quick response. 🙂
You are welcome Sarah 🙂 Hope the Pazham Pradhaman will work out well for you.
Hi Shaan, I thought I should drop a review about my attempt at the payasam. My guests loved it, but I had to tweak it a bit. The Jaggery here (Maharastra- I live in Pune) is very sweet…like, twice sweeter than what we get in Kerala, I suppose. So, the payasam turned out very good, but a lot sweeter. So, I just chopped in a few pieces of fresh bananas into each bowl before serving the payasam- just to balance out the taste. That did the trick. Anyway, I know what to watch out for next time I make the payasam, which I definitely would. Thanks a lot! 🙂
Hello Sarah, Thank you very much for the feedback and also for the regular visit. Glad to know that you manage it very well and made your quest happy 🙂 Thanks for the tip.
Hi, I have a doubt whether we should remove the center part of plantain. I’m going to try this today. Your recipes are so simple that anyone can try. Thank u for sharing.
Beena, You can prepare it in both way. If you remove the centre part, the Pazham Pradhaman will be more smooth and soft. If you have time and patience just remove it 🙂 Thanks a lot for the feedback.
My colleagues are still licking their fingers. Thank you Shaan for making me shine in front of them. This is what we call as an enjoyable day in Saudi Arabia. There is a suggestion for pepper chicken, shallots are the best for it rather than onion. Kidly try and revert 😉
Pramod, Glad to know that it was a hit at your. Thank you so much for the feedback and also for the tip, I will try it soon.
