Notes
Tips:
1) First of all, try to use thick short variety of vermicelli to make this Semiya pal payasam. Thin long variety may not be suitable.
2) Also if you are using already roasted semiya then reduce the roasting time.
3) Further, you can use brown sugar in place of white sugar and adjust the quantity of sugar based on your sweet preference.
4) Finally, I use normal whole milk to make Semiya kheer. You can use half a cup of condensed milk to make thick kheer and reduce sugar in that case as condensed milk has sweet already.
