Semiya (The Indian Term for Vermicelli pasta) Payasam is such a classic south Indian Dessert that one really does not even pause to consider that pasta is not a native ingredient. This is a staple dessert at weddings & other auspicious festivals. Hauling a can of condensed milk into the kitchen would be blasphemous if the dessert is made for religious purposes, but it makes life OH SO EASY, cuts through the time required! <br /> <br />The cashews & raisins shallow fried in ghee are optional, Although they serve to add an extra dimension to texture.
