Simple Indian Vermicelli kheer (Semiya payasam)

Simple Indian Vermicelli kheer
(Semiya payasam)Cooking Recipe

            We will start with a delicious sweet once again. Though most of us are familiar with semiya payasam, I have found that the payasam just doesn’t taste as good. My kids say that payasam tastes just like ice cream. They say that my special payasam, nobody else makes it as delicious and lip smacking.

           I love festivals and plan the menu for a festive feast and especially look forward to try sweet treats that I’m yet to blog. Semiya Payasam is a traditional South Indian sweet dish that I prepared for our Onam festive meal. Festivals reflect the cultural diversity of India, a land of many religions. Festivity denotes – new clothes, family get together, fun, laughter and most importantly home cooks diligently prepare traditional sweets, savories and elaborate festive meals. Semiya Payasam (Vermicelli Kheer) is a South Indian traditional festival sweet that is absolutely mouth-watering.

           Semiya Payasam is prepared with Indian vermicelli that is roasted in ghee to a golden color, slowly simmered in milk and sugar, flavored with aromatic cardamom and garnished with toasted cashew nuts and raisins. It's cooking time is 20 minutes only.Simple to prepare, quick, comforting and delicious with a heavenly aroma!

Simple Indian Vermicelli kheer (Semiya payasam)Cooking Recipe

Ingredients :-

• Full cream milk -1/2 litre
• Semiya/vermicelli -1 cup
• Sago/sabhudana/saggu biyyam/chawari(optional) 2-3 tbsps
• Sugar (adjust according to your taste) - 1/2 – 3/4 cup
• Nestle Sweetened Condensed Milk { Milk Maid} - 1 small Can (optional)
• Cardamom powder-1 tsp
• Cashew nuts-10-12 no’s
• Raisin/ Kishmis-1 tbsp
• Ghee-2 tbsp

Simple Indian Vermicelli kheer (Semiya payasam)Cooking Recipe

Method :-

• Heat a pan, add a tbsp of ghee and toast the cashew nuts and raisins till golden brown. Remove from pan, keep aside.
• In the same pan, add the vermicelli and roast it for approx 4 minutes till a nice aroma emanates the kitchen and it turns a light brown shade. Remove from pan and keep aside.
• Take a cooking vessel, add the sago and three cups of water and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the roasted vermicelli and let it cook completely.
• Add sugar and milk and let it slowly simmer for another 7-8 minutes, stirring it once in a while.
• Add the Condensed Milk and stir it for 2 minutes.
• Add the cardamom powder and toasted cashews and raisins. Serve warm or chilled. It tastes good both warm and chilled.With this ingredients,you can serve the dish for 6-8 persons. 

Kitchen Notes :-

• You will find that once you turn off the flame and the payasam sits, the semiya will absorb the milk and the payasam will thicken. The payasam thickens even when refrigerated. So at the time of serving, add some warm milk (a few tbsp) and combine well and serve. For a rich taste, use whole milk.
• Instead of sugar you can add 1/2 cup of  Jaggery /Unrefined sugar syrup.

Simple Indian Rava(Sooji) Laddoo Cooking Recipe

Simple Indian Rava Laddoo Cooking Recipe

Simple Indian Rava Laddoo

          Simple Indian Rava Laddoo is a delicious and nutritious sweet dish which is very easy to make . All children as well as adults definitely like this Simple Indian Rava Laddu . On the right side you can see how the Indian Rava Laddu should be after you make it. It is very delicious and can be served after a meal or had any time. Please find below the Simple Indian Rava Laddu recipe and method to make it.

          Rave laddu or rava laddoo is one of my favorite sweets from my childhood. My mother used to make these beautiful yellow colored laddoos with one kishmish(raisin) in each. I absolutely adored these. Though I always ran away when she made these (I was a very lazy kid), I promptly reached to taste them when they were done. Then there were some instances where I offered help and almost burnt my hands by putting them in hot laddoo mixture.

          My mom usually does not add saffron.She uses a pinch of yellow food color to get the bright yellow color to these. Her version is not too oily or too dry (which I observed in the laddoos made by others). Since I didn’t want to use the color, we used saffron. It gave a nice aroma.

Simple Indian Rava Laddoo Cooking Recipe

Ingredients:-

• Fine wheat sooji/rava-1 cup
• Sugar-1 cup
• Few strands saffron(optional)- 1 pinch
• Raisins-1 tea spoon
• Badams chopped-1 tsp
• Pista chopped- 1 tsp
• Cashews - 1/4 cup
• Cardamom powder-1/2 tsp
• Water-1/2 cup
• Ghee-1/4 cup

Simple Indian Rava Laddoo Cooking Recipe

Method :-

• Heat ghee and add cashews, badam,pista and raisins.
• Let the raisins slightly puff up in hot ghee.
• Add sooji and fry on medium heat mixing continuously till a nice aroma comes out of it. Take out the sooji in a plate.
• In the same pan, add water, sugar and heat. Add the saffron strands. Boil it for few minutes.
• Switch off the heat and add sooji and mix well.
• Add cardamom powder and mix well. At this stage, the mixture becomes too watery which is perfectly fine. It gets dry as time passes. Close the lid of the pan and let it sit for about 15-20mins.
• When it is dried and can be handled, apply some ghee to hands and make small balls.
• When they are cooled to room temperature, store in air tight containers. Finish them within 1 week.This recipe makes about 8-10 laddoos.

Please note the following :-

• The cardamom powder should not be added till the end. If it is added before, the laddoos loose their aroma.
• Some people add milk at the end when the laddoo mix becomes too dry. Avoid this situation as much as possible. This decreases the shelf life.
• If the mixture does not get dry after keeping for about 20mins, you can slightly heat it to get it dry.
• If the rava is not roasted properly, the laddoos come out to be very sticky. So fry till it turns slightly reddish.
