For me Holy Thursday/ Mondy Thursday always meant long hours of standing outside the crowded church and then sipping on the hot Pesaha Paal from church and home.
Recipe source: Amma
Coconut milk from 4 coconuts [Both thin & thick milk]
Jaggery- 1 kg
Rice flour- 3/4 cup dissolved in 2 1/2 cups of water
Dry ginger powder- 1/2 - 1 tsp or to taste
Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
Method:
- Melt jaggery using 2 cups of water. Strain it. Let it cool.
- Mix coconut milk + jaggery and cook it over a medium flame, stirring continously. Do not let it boil.
- When it is heated thoroughly, add the rice flour dissolved in water.Stir well.
- Let it thicken a bit.
- Add the powdered spices.
- Let the milk cool down a bit.
- Serve.
Me & my mom like this the best when chilled. We make this only once a year but would love to have it all around the year! :D So,we usually make a large quantity, send a share of it to our friends &neighbours and keep the rest for ourselves.
This is usually served with Indri Appam which is an unleavened bread. I couldn't make it this year...so we broke an Irish Soda Bread. I fell in love with that bread so much that I need to knead one very soon! :)

That's a nice recipe, I never heard of it though. How strange is that that belonging to different parts of the same country and north Indian cuisine and south Indian is so hugely different.
We also have a north Indian version of this but coconut milk is not involved and we put some dry fruits too.
I have heard about pesaha paal and indri ppam from my Xtian friends.Never knew it was made with coco milk & jaggery.I love the flavour coco milk provides and the final pic makes me drool:)
