Vermicelli - payasam

Semiya payasam must be the favourite payasam for most of the people in Tamilnadu. Its our family favorite too. People make it for all the special occasions like birthday, wedding anniversay and other occasions at home. Yesterday I made this semiya payasam without condensed milk (Milk maid) for my birthday and I enjoyed every mouth to the core. Its very easy and can be made in a jiffy. Many variations can be made to this payasam recipe by adding finely chopped nuts or badam powder or saffron milk , condensed milk/ milkmaid, khoya and make it taste more delicious. Its a simple but rich Indian dessert recipe. I have already shared Kerala style semiya payasam recipe in my Kerala Onam sadya post using milk.. Here I have shared the basic method in Tamilnadu style. Do try and let me know your feedback..
