the word kheer is basically derived from sanskrit word ksheera which is heavily used in north india. in south india, the pudding recipes are generally termed with payasa or payasam recipes. but in my hometown, in kannada, we call this recipe as shamige payasa or shamige paramanna. for any big or small occasions, vermicelli kheer is a must dessert dish in my family. since childhood, i have a special connection to this recipe and perhaps seviyan kheer was one of the first dessert recipes i tried in the kitchen. even as a amateur cook i was able to prepare a creamy and tasty kheer recipe.
the recipe for seviyan kheer is extremely simple, yet i would like to share some tips, recommendations and serving ideas for it. firstly, do not forget to fry the bambino / mtr vermicelli with ghee in low flame. do not burn them and fry till it reaches golden brown in color. alternatively, you can also use store-bought fried seviyan to skip this step. secondly, i have boiled and cooked the semiya noodles in a full cream cows milk which thickens after the cooking process. optionally you can also add cooking cream while boiling for more richness and creaminess. lastly, semiya payasam can be served either hot or chilled. if you are serving after a while, it may have thickened. add some milk and microwave it 30-60 secs and adjust the consistency.
