When I told my husband I am making Barley Pradaman, his first remark was - ungal imaginationukku ellaye illaya? (meaning is there no limit to your imagination). I am glad I am like that. As I told you before, pradaman is basically payasam (kheer) made with jaggery and coconut milk. It is made with a variety of ingredients and I really loved this version with barley.
AGC Week 2 this month is Sweets. This is my entry to the event.
Ingredients
Pearl Barley 1/2 cup
Jaggery 1 cup
Coconut milk 2 cups
Cardamom 1/4 tsp
Method of Preparation
1. Soak barley overnight. Pressure cook with 1.5 cups of water for 3 whistles.
2. In a pan add the jaggery along with 1/4 cup water (i just added the water from the cooked barley). Let it melt.
3. Add the barley and simmer for a few minutes.
4. Add coconut milk and cardamom. Mix well and cook in low flame for 5 minutes.
You can serve this immediately warm. I liked it best the next day after I kept it in the fridge. It had an awesome creamy texture and the barley had absorbed some of the sweetness as well.
