Aval Payasam | Poha Payasam | Rice Flakes Payasam - Gokulashtami Recipe

Aval/ Rice flakes Payasam. I used Red Rice flakes which is store bought. You can also try with white either thin or thick rice flakes. This is one of the recipes which are made for Lord Krishna on Janmashtami. Since this is my first Krishna Jayanthi which I am celebrating alone, I made a simple payasam and wanted to share for the beginners as like me. Amma don’t have the custom of celebrating Krishna jayanthi, so I don’t know what to do for this occasion. I went through the Internet for the recipe and tried it for the first time. It was delicious and divine.

Semiya Payasam | Vermicelli Payasam

This is one of the recipes which I wanted to post for long time. Since today is varalakshmi viratham I thought I can post it today itself. Vermicelli payasam/semiya payasam is an easy and simple sweet which amma used to make for each and every festival at home.  Everyone in my home loves it.

Indians have the habit of finishing off their meal with a sweet. The reason behind is, sweets help in digesting your food easily. So in every wedding feast there will be a sweet and most of the time it will be semiya payasam.

Vermicelli doesn’t require much time to cook. In this method we are roasting the vermicelli in ghee for few mins. So cook the vermicelli for just 3-4 mins in milk and allow it to stand for some time in the hot milk. This will cook the vermicelli further. Cooking for long time will turn the vermicelli to clump.
