How to Make Plain Semiya payasam

• Heat ghee in a pan, add the cashews and roast them till they turn golden in colour. Remove and keep aside.
• In the same pan, add the semiya and roast them lightly.
• In a heavy-bottom vessel, cook the semiya with 1 cup of water (or sufficient water to cover it).
• When the vermicelli is cooked, lower the flame and add the milk and sugar. Stir well.
• Allow to cook for about 10-15 mins, until the payasam thickens up slightly.
• Finally, add the cardamom powder and roasted cashews. Mix it gently and serve warm.
