Semiya Javvarisi Payasam Recipe | Vermicelli Sago Kheer

Semiya Javvarisi Payasam Recipe | Vermicelli Sago Kheer recipe with step-by-step pictures and instructions. Semiya javvarisi payasam is an easy and quick payasam made with semiya, sago, milk, and sugar. One of the quick desserts which can be made in 20 minutes. You can enjoy them warm as well as cold.
When we have sudden guests coming for lunch, Semiya Payasam, sago payasam, or a combination of both is most commonly made in our home. As my hubby is not fond of sweets, I always make payasam when I have guests or festivals only. No need to soak sago for a long time. I always soak in hot water for 15 to 30 minutes.

Notes
Payasam will get thicker after some time. So make it watery if you are planning to serve later.
You can use raisins along with cashews.
Allow it to cook in water and then add milk.
If it gets thicker, you can add some boiled milk to adjust consistency while serving.
Adjust the sugar according to your taste and preference.
Since we soak sago in hot water, it gets cooked faster along with semiya.
You can cook them separately and add too if your sago is taking time to cook. But I always find this easier to cook together.
You can use condensed milk to make it more creamy and rich.
Reduce the quantity of sugar if you are using condensed milk.
