*Semiya Payasam*

This easily prepared sweet dish is one of the authentic South-indian dishes, that's ususally prepared during poojas, festivals...
This is my all time favorite sweet dish and love it when with lots of ghee & roasted nuts..
When I wanted to write my first blog about my cooking, let this authentic sweet dish be my first choice. :)

Ingredients

Milk - 1 Litre
Roasted Semiya (Vermicelli) - Half cup
Sugar - 1 Cup (Depends on your taste)
Ghee - 1/2 cup
Nuts (cashew badam & pista) - 1/2 cup
Dry grapes - few
Cardamom - 3-4
Water

Lets start cooking!

Boil Milk with a half cup water.
Let it boil until the milk turns thick & condensed.
Add sugar and stir well. You can notice the milk becomes thicker than before.
Add semiya at this time and keeps stirring.
Meanwhile roast the nuts, dry grapes in ghee and keep it aside.
Once you see the semiya is cooked soft, add the roasted nuts with the remaining ghee and mix well.
You can add a 1/2 pinch of salt to the payasam to enhance the sweetness.
Add cardamom for its own exotic fragrance.
Now payasam is prepared and all set to serve :)
