Semiya PayasamPin

Semiya payasam recipe a rich creamy payasam.Semiya payasam or vermicelli kheer is the easiest one can make especially during the festive occasions when we are busy with other cooking.
As I’ve told many times I love anything sweet and this semiya payasam is my fav. Payasam with papad or vadai is the best combination.

Not that I dont watch other entertainment movies. …I prefer watching my kind of movies even twice or thrice than watching a entertainment movie, yes thats me :oThe tiny tots playschool got closed and from tomorrow her vacation begins.

I love the payasam in both ways either warm or cold. Vadai dunked in payasam – heavenly combo.Hubby likes elachi flavour and dislikes the saffron so skipped it. The more the milk simmered, it gives a rich and creamy taste.

My Notes:

  • I like the semiya being cooked in milk itself which gives a nice creamy taste o the payasam but alternatively you can cook in water then add milk. 
  • You can even reduce sugar to 1/2 cup if you are not much sweet toothed.
  • You can also use saffron(1tsp) and condensed milk(1 tbsp) for a more unique and rich taste.
  • The payasam tends to get thicker as it rests down. So add more milk if you want while serving.
  • You can add any nuts of your choice.Skip raisins if its not your preference.
