Vermicelli Payasam / Kheer




The first sweet most of the children in India ate would be Kheer/Payasam. In Hindu tradition we have a ceremony the first time child eats something apart from milk.On this occasion the father/uncle/grandfather would feed the kid with some sweet.Payasam/Kheer is made especially for the kid.
When we were kids the sure dish we know for any festival is kheer.Any auspicious occasion or festival Kheer is made and we used to wait for the next festival to eat this. There are different ways Kheer is made with different ingredients too. My favourite among them is Vermicelli Kheer its easy to make and delicious to eat.Herz a sweet recipe to all.
Ingredients:
vermicelli/ semiya - 1 cups
milk - 2 cups
sugar - 1/4 cup
cardammom - 2 pods
