One of the simplest yet loved sweets for most folks of Indian descent is Payasa/Payasam/Kheer. We're no different and every time I ask my little one which sweet treat I should make for any celebration or festivity the answer is usually this - Shavige Payasa = Vermicelli Payasa!
The best part about cooking and creating is how easily you can turn even a simple dish into a fancy one just by presentation. I love to do just that with most dishes which take little time to create but look extensive :)
Here it is, my VERMICELLI PAYASA/SEVIYAN KHEER Shots:
Ingredients: 1 cup of thin vermicelli broken into small pieces (I use pre-roasted wheat vermcelli), 1 tablespoon ghee, 1.5 cups full cream milk, 1 quarter cup warm water, raw sugar as per sweetness required, 1 teaspoon cardamom powder, a few teaspoon saffron strands. If wanting to use nuts for garnish, choose any nuts and roast in ghee.
Make: In a thick bottom pan, lightly fry the broken vermicelli in ghee. Within a few minutes, add the warm water and mix. Then add the milk and let it heat up while stirring. Add the sugar, cardamom powder and saffron strands. Mix well and remove from heat.
For presenting the payasa as shots, pour into glass shotglasses and garnish with roasted nuts. Serve warm or cold and enjoy!
