Semya Payasam

My mom used to prepare this on my birthdays and I like this dish especially if my mom prepares.
This is a kind of very basic payasam/kheer, very easy to prepare.

Ingredients:
1) Milk - 1 gallon
2) Semya (vermicelli) - 200 gms
3) Cashews, raisins (dry grapes) and elaichi (green cardamom) powder.

4) Sugar

Procedure:
1) Transfer 1 gallon of milk into a vessel and heat it.
2) Break semya into small pieces and put aside. I have used roasted vermicelli (if you don't have roasted vermicelli, please roast it before adding it into milk)

3) Roast Cashews, raisins and elaichi powder in ghee (roast in small flame)

4) After 15 mins, add 1 cup of sugar (add later as required) and keep heating.
5) Once the milk reaches boiling point add semya pieces into it.
6) After 10-15 mins add roasted cashew, raisins into the mix and keep stirring.


7) Heat the contents till semya is well cooked.



And here it is yummy semya payasam.
Tip: If you feel that semya payasam is thick, add more milk and sugar accordingly as this dish should be thin.
