Payasa/Rasayna-------Vermicilli {shaviyya/shyavige} Payasa(Kheer/pudding)

This is a very easy,tasty and common payasa.Its usually prepared in all special occasions and in functions.Kids also love this payasa as its reminds them of noodles and easy to chew.Last month i prepared this payasa on Vishu our Mangalore Ugadi(New year).so here is the recipe of the same.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Vermicelli(shaviyya)
1 liter  whole milk OR 1/2 liter half and half milk
11/2 cup sugar
4 cup mixed dry fruits like cashews,almonds pieces,pistachio pieces and raisins
2tsp of ghee
2 tsp almond paste or MTR badam powder
1tsp cardamon powder
few strings of kesar(dissolved in 1 tbsp of milk)
1/2 can condensed milk(optional)

Method:

Roast vermicelli with 2-3 tsp ghee till vermicelli turns light brown color,if the vermicelli's are long like noodles then break them into small pieces by crushing them together.And if  the vermicelli is roasted one then no need to fry very much.

Take a heavy bottom pan add ghee ,raisins and cashews.fry them till cashews turns red and raisins fluffs out.
remove and keep it aside.
In the same pan add Milk and bring it one boil.now reduce the flame and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes stirring in between.the purpose is to reduce the milk quantity and by doing it the milk becomes thicker.If you are using half and half milk then allow it to simmer for 2 minutes that is enough.
Now add roasted vermicelli and stirring continuously let this vermicelli be cooked in milk.It will take 5-8 minutes for vermicelli to cook.before adding sugar check whether vermicelli is cooked.
Finally add sugar,cardamon powder,dry fruits,kesar dissoled in 1tblsp milk and stir it properly so that sugar gets completely dissolved.let them simmer for 5 minutes .
Add condensed milk and 1-2 tsp of almond  powder just for flavour and thickening(you can use MTR badam powder).Let it simmer for 1 minute or 1 boil then switch it off.after the payasam is cooled off it absorbe little milk,if you feel milk is little less than you can add 1/2 cup boiled milk into it while serving.


Serve hot or can also be served cold.but i like all payasam hot.
