Vermicelli Kheer also known as Semiya Payasam. Vermicelli Payasam(Kheer) is an easy desserts recipes made with vermicelli, milk and homemade ghee in 20 mins.
An easy desserts for a crowd:
Semiya payasam is a quick and easy dessert for a crowd or parties. It is an easy to make at home dessert in 20 minutes with milk, vermicelli, and ghee. You can make this dessert a day before the party and store it in a refrigerator. Before an hour of the party, you can take out the payasam from the fridge and add extra milk and bring the payasam to a boil and serve in the desired desserts cup. I made vermicelli payasam with my homemade ghee that made the kheer extra flavorful and delicious.
Smart Cooking Tips:
1. Make sure to roast vermicelli in a medium flame until the color changes into a golden brown without burning. If you add vermicelli directly without roasting properly, it will become mushy, and the kheer will taste raw vermicelli taste.
2.If you are using a thin variety of vermicelli to make payasam. Roast vermicelli in ghee until the color changes to golden brown separately and boils the milk separately until it comes to rolling boil and add thin vermicelli to the milk and cook until the vermicelli becomes soft.
3. I used freshly crushed cardamoms in the kheer; you can also use store bought cardamom powder.
4. You can also add raisins and other variety of roasted nuts in the kheer. If you are adding raisins, roast it in a ghee with cashew nuts until it becomes plump.
5. If you store the kheer in a refrigerator, it will become thick. You can add extra milk to the kheer and bring it to a boil before serving.
6. You can also use store bought roasted vermicelli in this kheer if you are using it just heat ghee, add roasted vermicelli, mix quickly and add milk.
A Healthy Dessert Recipe:
Vermicelli kheer is made only with milk, ghee, and vermicelli. Though vermicelli kheer includes sugar, this dessert takes only less amount of sugar for sweetening. Also, it is not a fried dessert. It is a popular South Indian sweet recipe and they serve semiya payasam as a dessert in weddings and other special occasions. My mom makes this payasam on my birthday because this kheer is my favorite sweet. Whenever we have the craving to eat something sweet I make this payasam. It is that easy and simple to make. Usually, we don’t feel like eating cold desserts in winter, so vermicelli payasam is an excellent dessert to enjoy in cold weather.
