VERMICELLI MILK PUDDING (SEMAIYER PAYESH)

It is a very well known and extremely delicious sweet or dessert item, made specially in festivals or any occassions. This is my favourite 'payesh' and also very simple to prepare with vermicelli, dry fruits, milk and sugar are the main ingredients. It is known as 'Kheer' in North and 'Payasam' in South, a flavourful dessert item of India.

INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Vermicelli (semaiya)
1 Cup Sugar
2 Cups Milk
1/3 tsp Cardamom powder
2 tbsps Chopped Cashew nut
2 tbsps Chopped Almonds
2 tbsps Raisins
1 tbsp Dried Cherry
1-2 tbsps Chopped Pistachio
2 tsp Clarified Butter (ghee)

METHOD:

Heat clarified butter in a pan. Add almond, pistachio, cashewnut. Fry for 30 seconds, add raisins and dried cherry in it. Fry for another 30 seconds.

Then add vermicelli in it. Keep stirring till vermicelli turns into golden.

Add milk in it. When milk starts to boil, add sugar and cardamom powder in it. Keep stirring continuously.

When vermicelli gets soft and milk starts bubbling, switch off the heat now. After few hours it will be thick consistency.

Serve cold, by garnishing little dry fruits on the top.
