Back in Kerala we always look forward to the trip to Moms
home during school holidays. The best part of the trip was the drive from my
hometown to moms place which is in Thiruvalla. Typically it would take 6-7
hours , but we always end up taking 12 hrs or more.We stop almost every 1 hr or
so and enjoy each and every local delights or specialties on the way. It was on
one of those stopovers that I tasted the famous Ambalapuzha Pal payasam for the
first time.. Hands down, that is the best thing in the world, the true beauty
of the payasam is its simplicity, just
three ingredients Rice, Milk and Sugar
The exact taste, texture and the pinkish color of the famous
payasam comes from thickening of the Milk. There is absolutely no added flavors
like cardamom or saffron or dry fruits. Hands down thatz the best thing I ever
had. The only down side is that once you have tasted this king of payasams, any
other payasams you have from then on is just another payasamL.
