Badam Semiya Payasam is a sweet kheer or pudding made with roasted vermicelli, made with Durum Wheat and simmered in a thick flavoured almond rich milk, topped with nuts.
In a pan, add the ghee and the roasted vermicelli. Sauté for 1 min, add ½ cup of water and close and cook for 8-10 mins till fully done.
Now Add the condensed milk, 500 ml milk, homemade almond meal and mix well.
Keep stirring till you get the required consistency.
Finish with Cardamom powder
If using Cashews, saute it in 1/4 tsp ghee till golden. Top the kheer with the toasted nuts
Serve warm or cold or at room temperature.
Notes
If there is no Roasted Semiya available on hand, roast the unroasted Vermicelli (not rice vermicelli) in an extra tsp of ghee till well roasted and browned
Sugar is mild-moderate here, as we like it that way. Adjust quantity of condensed milk if you have a sweet tooth
When adding badam milk powder, keep stirring so not to burn the kheer.
Kheer tastes good both cold and hot. But we prefer to have it chilled.
Shelf life: Can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days : Micro the required quantity only for 1-2 mins (depending on the quantity) before use if consuming on the subsequent days (after bringing the kheer to room temperature)
