Payasam & kheer
Eratti Payasam
Also called concentrated payasam.
A thick Kerala temple payasam whose recipe should be documented temple by temple.
What goes into it
Temple-specific
How it is made
A concentrated payasam category; exact formula is temple-specific.
Exact temple kitchen formulae — the dittam — are not reproduced here unless the temple has published them. What is described is the culinary family, not a temple’s working recipe.
Where it is offered
This is a culinary family found widely across South Indian temple and household worship rather than one tied to a single temple in this reference. Its region is recorded as Kerala.
History and evidence
Earliest documentation: Traditional.
Dietary note
Recorded as Yes in the tradition described.
This is informational, never a guarantee. Temple kitchens change formulations, use shared equipment and follow their own Āgamic rules. If an allergy matters to you, ask the temple directly.
