Semiya Payasam

Ingredients:

Roasted Semiya - 1/2 Cup

Milk - 1/2 litre

Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1/8 Cup

Sugar - 1/2 Cup

Cardamom - 3

Water to adjust if necessary

Dry fruits (Optional)

Method:

1. Boil the milk and add the roasted semiya to it. Keep stiring it until the semiya is seen floating in the milk.

2. Add 1/2 cup sugar and continue stiring the mixture continously.

3. Finally, add the sweetened condensed milk to the mixture. I used Amul Mithai Mate and hence add 1/8 cup.

4. Finally, add crushed cardamom powder to it and remove it from heat.

Generally, I avoid ghee and dry fruits due as an healthy option.

If you prefer to use ghee and dry fruits, then you can heat some ghee in a tawa and roast the dry fruits till golden brown and add it to the payasam.

Tips:

Add some food color in case you want to give a different look to the payasam.

You can adjust the milk, water and sugar a little more if you need to refrigerate it, as the payasam tends to thicken when refrigerated.

You can even use rice, instead of semiya.
