In Hindi, kheer and in Tamil, payasam, signify a luscious milk-based dessert. Milk is gently sweetened, then simmered to a creamy consistency, enriched with ingredients like rice, vermicelli, or nuts. "Semiya Payasam" specifically highlights the vermicelli variant in Tamil cuisine. This dessert, with its simplicity and versatility, has become my ultimate go-to for creating a delightful sweet indulgence in a matter of moments.
