Paal Vazhakka/Sago payasam

Paal vazhakka is my husbands fav recipe. When ever I speak something about payasam it ends in pal vazhakka from his side. I had never tasted this before.So today I thought why not prepare that...I rang my MIL and took down the recipe and made it.It was a great hit.
My husband loved it and I too am a fan of it now...






Sago/Sabudana-1/2 cup
Milk-4 cups
Sugar-1cup
Ripe plantain-1(Nendra pazham)
Raisins few
Ghee-2 tsp
Cardomom powder-pinch

Method Of Preparation:
1. Cook the sago with milk till it gets soft.
2. Add sugar to that and cook for some minutes.Add cardomom powder.Turn off the heat.
3. Fry the raisins in ghee and add that to the cooked sago.
4. Cut the banana to small pieces and add that to the payasam when it is still hot and mix well.
5. Serve hot.





Tips:
1.I cooked the sago and milk in pressure cooker for one whistle on medium heat but if cooking it in separate vessel add water and cook it to medium soft.once it is done add milk and cook completely.
2. See that you don't overcook sago.Keep checking it as there is only a small gap between cooked and overcooked.If overcooked it becomes too thick and sticky.You wont like it.
3. Sago increases in quantity once cooked.so use accordingly.

  4. Hi there Reshmi!

    My name is Steve Walters and I recently started blogging at http://www.eatingbangkok.com, which is currently being updated with recipes, but in the next few months will be my vehicle for covering the food and restaurant scene in Bangkok Thailand.

    I am now in the process of meeting as many food bloggers as I can and I found your site http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/
    recently and was pretty impressed. I've added your site to my Foodie Blogs list here: http://www.eatingbangkok.com/foodie-blogs/ and would also like to add you to my blogroll.

    If you could add my site to your blogroll and write back to let me know it has been added (foodie [at] eatingbangkok.com) I will add you to mine as well and the exchange would be greatly appreciated!

    As you might imagine I am very excited to get moved to Bangkok and get started on covering the food scene there as I feel it is an area that isn't well covered by English speaking bloggers. I plan on adding loads of great reviews, pictures and even video and will be holding contests as well. It should be fun, entertaining and informative for everyone that visits.

    Thank you so much in advance for adding me to your blogroll and I look forward to reading your posts (I've subscribed!) and maybe even featuring some of your own posts as I do plan on a weekly roundup of Thai themed recipes and posts from other food bloggers.

    Warm regards,
    Steve
