Today I'm going to share a Caramel Semiya Payasam recipe with step by step photos. It is a delicious and quick kheer that you can prepare in a few minutes, loaded with caramel flavor and awesome in taste. If you like caramel flavor you are definitely going to relish the dessert. Caramel Semiya Payasam is a traditional styled favorite dessert that anyone will whip up in a second. This is a must during festive gatherings and special occasions. The cardamom flavored dessert is unique and special with the flavor and aroma of ghee rinsed raisins and cashew nuts. Kids love the creamy Caramel Vermicelli Kheer due to its mild flavor and aromatic texture. This is the simplest of payasam dishes and the sole winner of all hearts. Even new comers can give a bold try. You can explore a well detailed Caramel Vermicelli Kheer recipe here that can be easily prepared at home.
Take sugar and 3 tbsp water in a thick bottomed pan. Simmer the flame completely and let it begin to melt by itself. Do not stir the sugar.
Once the sugar caramelizes and reaches an amber shade, add 1/4 cup of hot water(be careful while adding it, it will splash). Mix well.
Add milk and 1/2 – 3/4 cup water to this. Mix well. Bring it to a rolling boil.
In the mean time, heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan and roast the vermicelli till light brown in colour.
Once the milk starts boiling, add semiya and mix well. Bring it to boil and simmer till semiya cooks through.
Simmer completely and cook till the milk reduces slightly, thickening the payasam.
Heat a pan with ghee, add chopped cashews and raisins and roast till brown. Transfer this to the kheer and mix in. Caramel payasam is ready to be served hot or cold.
