Semiya Payasam (Vermicelli pudding)

Simple ingredients are used to create this remarkable dessert that is made on all auspicious occasions in South India. The trick to a perfect payasam is to use less semiyan and more milk than you might think you’d need. This pudding has a tendency to thicken as it cools, so you can add more milk to thin it.
