Semiya Payasam/Vermicelli Kheer
Simplest dessert and yet every one's favorite.This is done on many special occasion and its very simple to make.I made this for my 2nd night of Navaratri and I enjoyed every scoop of it.I like to eat it chilled though lot of the prefer it hot.The consistency has to be noted very carefully.Remove from fire while they are still loose with milk otherwise they tend to get thick after sometime,so addition of milk will be necessary.Try adding evaporated milk for extra flavor/thickness.I have always heard edible camphor(pacha karpuram)brings out an excellent flavor but never tried it.I must try it out soon.Adding ghee is must they bring out the best in payasam.
