Payasam is an intergral part of any sadya and is the after-taste invariably. I for one, am a payasam lover but find it too time-consuming to actually prepare it myself. Anyway, this is the payasam that we made at home. The simplest and easiest of them all - Semiya Payasam.

SEMIYA PAYASAM RECIPE
Ingredients for Semiya Payasam:
Milk - 3 cups
Water-1 cup
Vermicelli/semiya - 100gm
Sugar - 1 cup (adjust according to taste)
Cardamom - 4
Cashew nuts - 12
Raisins - 8
Ghee - 2 tsp
How to make Semiya Payasam:
1. Fry the raisins and cashew nuts in the ghee. Remove and then fry the vermicilli till it turns golden brown. Keep aside.
2. Mix water with the milk and boil in a pan, stirring constantly. Add sugar and cardamom. Bring to boil keeping the fire on sim.
3. Now add the vermicilli, stir well and bring to boil again. Make sure the vermicilli is cooked (leaving the pan aside, closed for some time will help)
4. Garnish with the fried raisins and cashews.
We enjoy semiya payasam cold but serve warm or cold accoring to your taste 🙂

Hi Nags, glad to hear that you are okay and were not affected by the blasts.
Like you, I love this Semiya Payasam. Actually, I made some just last week 🙂 My mom used to make it for us at dinner time. We simply call it wet-vermicelli (lol) I had mentioned on my blog sometime back how practical we are in naming our dishes. Just looking at your payasam, makes me want to go and make some right now 🙂
Thanks very much for stopping by my blog and helping me to discover yours. I'll definitely be coming back for you.
Come back and visit when you can.
