Learn how to make thin/ fine vermicelli payasam with step by step pictures and detailed instructions.
I was not aware of this fine vermicelli until one day my friend S told about it…Its thinner than our usual vermicelli .We get this kind in Singapore in Mustafa ..😊 (Available in chennai too..). When my in-laws came here for a visit, I made this for New year,they all liked so much! 😍. I have here given the recipe of payasam made in MW, think its easy enough to relate this in stove top method as well😉.

Hi.
Where can I get this fine vermicelli in chennai. Can you give me the name of a shop in and around adyar or mylapore.
Thanks

I just made this delicious vermicelli payasam with the super thin product available in Indian market in USA. As I am allergic to milk, used almond/ coconut milk that is also available commercially here. Used Dalda to fry the nuts. And lastly added 1/8 tsp. mahlab spice available at Middle eastern market. It is the ground pit of sour cherry. Do not know if this spice is available in India but it is delicious with any milk based dessert and for payasam it is out of this world! I plan to try all your payasam recipes, especially sago. Thank you!
Raks.. just wanted to know whether we should drain the water before adding the milk…?? or should add milk along with the water used in step 2
No need to drain, even if you want to drain there wont be enough water to drain as the semiya cooks, gets thicker
