Hearing of Pal Payasam normally Ambalapuzha pal payasam comes to our mind.But unfortunately i have never tasted it yet.But the pal payasam which is being served at the guruvayoor temple is one of my personal favourites.Now for the Onam celebration i thought why dont i just give a try for a different payasam,as usually we have either Ada pradaman/semiya payasam. Being my daughters first onam  (16-9-2013),i wanted to make something really special for her. This one was really special for her as she was really enjoying having it in a glass. Now lets go through the recipe. CONTENTS: Red broken rice/Matta raw rice                                11/4cup Water                           2 1/2cups Milk            ...

APPLE POLA/MALABAR APPLE CAKE

This is a special Malabar dish mostly famous amongst the Muslim community. It is a special Ramadan dish also. This was suggested to me by one of my neighbours in calicut.Before that i was quite unaware of such a recipe. I tried it out one day and was so very excited when it turned out to be really soft and perfect and importantly it didn't get burnt up also. I was trying to take photos of this and after seeing my excitement, my baby was also excited and started snatching it from the plate.
