Method

* Heat ghee in a non-stick pan, fry cashews and dry grapes.

* Fry cashew nuts to golden color, collect and keep aside.

* Boil whole milk and keep ready.

* Add some more ghee to the same pan and roast Semiya.

* If you are using already roasted vermicelli, reduce the roasting time.

* Roast the Semiya for five minutes on medium heat until they become slightly crisp and aromatic.

* Be careful not to burn the semiya and don't wait till they change in color.

* Now add boiled milk and cook the semiya for few minutes.

* Keep stirring the pot occasionally until the semiya becomes soft.

* Allow the milk to reduce in quantity for five more minutes.

* Now add sugar and mix well. A pinch of salt at this time increases the taste of the payasam.

* After adding sugar Semiya kheer becomes thin again.

* Condense milk further if you like kheer to be thicker.

* Add cardamom powder and fried cashews and raisins.

* Switch off and serve warm or chilled.
