Palada Payasam is a traditional South Indian dessert, originating from Kerala cuisine, often enjoyed during festivals and celebrations. Known for its rich and creamy texture, it is made primarily from rice pasta flakes (palada), milk, sugar, and flavored with cardamom. Slow cooking gives it a deep, caramelized sweetness and luxurious consistency. While this dish is a source of comfort and indulgence, its health profile is mixed—it provides calcium and protein from milk, which supports bone health, but the addition of sugar makes it high in calories, which can impact weight management. Some variations also include ghee, which contributes to its rich taste but adds saturated fat. For a lighter version, sugar can be substituted with natural sweeteners, and low-fat milk can be used. Enjoyed in moderation, Palada Payasam remains a celebrated symbol of Kerala’s culinary heritage.
