Its Vishu and am really missing being at home. The get together of whole family and cooking and finally the eating part. That's what am missing the most. All the fire crackers in the night and the 'Vishu Kanni' and 'Kainettam' in th early morning. Its something we used to wait for the whole year. Even a 10 rupee was so precious.
Making a whole sadya and that too just for 2 persons, no way. But something sweet ought to be there.
My first sweet recipe in the blog: Semiya Payasam along with my Vishu wishes to all.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
Semiya/ Vermicelli - 1 cup Milk - 4 cups (I used whole milk)
Sugar - 1- 1 1/4 cups (This was too sweet so adjust to your sweet level)
Cardamom powder - a big pinch
Cashews - 10 nos
Raisins - 10 nos
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Dry roast the 3/4 cup of vermicelli till light brown and keep aside
Dry roast the remaining 1/4 cup till it turns bright white and keep aside
its good to have 2 colors of vermicelli. It gives a good texture.
Boil milk in low-medium heat and add the vermicelli and the cardamom powder. Let it get cooked in the milk
Do keep stirring in between so that it doesnt get burnt
Once the vermicelli gets cooked, add the sugar and stir it well so that it dissolves in the milk.
Once the semiya gets cooked completely (soft), take it off from the heat
Now heat the ghee in a pan and fry the raisins till it gets plump and add the raising alone to the payasam
Fry the cashews in the same pan and add it to the payasam.
Stir it well and serve it
Happy Eating!!!
