Summary:
more-inCome festival season in India and the sweet shops go into a palagaram-making frenzy offering sweets of all kinds. Away from the bustle of the city’s busy streets, we came across some special shops whose expertise lies in making one special sweet without deviating from the original recipe. A few months ago I was told about the sumptuous pal ada pradhaman sold near the Ayyappan temple at New Sidhapudur. There’s no cardamom added; it’s all in the sweet sugar syrup and the amazing texture, which makes it difficult to stop with one. The payasam is thick and delicious but make sure you visit the store only after noon as that is when the sweet is ready..
