Ingredients
- Fine vermicelli 1/2 cup
- Sugar Little more than 1/4 cup
- Milk 3/4 cup
- Saffron 2 pinches
- Cashews 5 nos.
- Pistachios 5 nos.
- Elachi 1 Powdered.
Preparation
Step 1
Mix the broken vermicelli with a tsp of ghee in a microwavable glass bowl, and Microwave in high for 2 min,stir in in between.
Heat little milk till warm and soak the saffron in it,keep aside.Soak pistachios in water and remove the outer skin and chop this and cashews into pieces.
Mix the nuts with a dash of ghee and microwave till it gets roasted,keep aside.
Add enough water(to immerse it completely) to the roasted vermicelli and cook in microwave high for 3 minutes till soft and tender.
Add the sugar,mix well and microwave in high for 4 mins,stirring in between once.
Add milk lastly along with elachi powder,pista,cashews and saffron dissolved in milk.Stir well and boil for 3-4 min stirring in between. (If the payasam tends to be too thick,add more milk,this payasam turns to be thick when cold,so add accordingly)
I have used only ordinary full cream milk here,you can also add evaporated milk,if u want the payasam to be rich..(Not condensed milk) (Add evaporated milk 1/4 cup,along with milk). This taste great with a caramel like smell because of evaporated milk!
