DSC_1563 

            I was not aware of this fine vermicelli until one day my friend S told about it...Its finer than our usual vermicelli .We get this kind in Singapore in Mustafa ..Happy (Available in chennai too..). When my in-laws came here for a visit,I made this for New year,they all liked so much! Love Struck.  I have here given the recipe of payasam made in  MW,think its easy enough to relate this in stove top method as wellWinking.

  • I have used only ordinary full cream milk here,you can also add evaporated milk,if u want the payasam to be rich..(Not condensed milk) (Add evaporated milk 1/4 cup,along with milk). This taste great with a caramel like smell because of evaporated milk!
