Travancore Devasam Port Announcement:

No complaints have been received about Aravani Payasam being prepared in that style for the last one year. Due to this, no more cardamom is collected in Aravani Payasam. Also, some are complaining that cumin contains disinfectant. After getting the research report on that, if necessary, adding cumin to Aravani Payasam will be avoided,” he said.
Aravana Payasam is being sold to devotees at sabarimala Ayyappan Temple. 200 batches of payasam are prepared and sold per day. In this, rice, sugar, fruit, and ghee are added more, and ingredients like cardamom and cumin are also added. It is very popular among sabarimala devotees. In this case, there were complaints that the cardamom used in payasam was of poor quality and was dangerous because of the presence of pesticides in it.
Following the complaints, the Food Safety and Standards Commission of india inspected the cardamom used in payasam as ordered by the kerala High Court. According to the report, 14 deadly pesticides were found in the cardamom sample. It has been mentioned that cardamom contains some pesticides which can cause serious diseases and injuries. Following these reports, the high court ordered the Devasthanam Board not to distribute payasam containing pesticide-laced seeds.
