Vermicelli payasam

-



Vermicelli payasam is one of those easy to make, anyone can make kind of payasam.

I was introduced to pre-fried very thin vermicelli after re-locating to the middle east; this made the process of making the payasam even more quicker.
I don' even follow any particular recipe for this.
You can eyeball the ingredients and lo...you are done.
This payasam can be enjoyed hot or cold.

But for the sake of the blog, I am listing down the recipe.

 Ingredients
1. Pre-fried vermicelli - 1 packet (broken into small pieces)
2. Milk - 2 litre
3. Condensed milk - 1 can (397 gm)
4. Sago - 2 tbsp
5. Cashews - 3/4 cup
6. Raisins- 3/4 cup
7. Sliced pistachios - 1/2 cup
8. Sliced almonds - 1/2 cup
9. Ghee - 2 tbsp

Method
Boil the milk and add the condensed milk to it. Keep stirring; otherwise the condensed milk will stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. Once the milk and condensed milk is mixed well, add the vermicelli to the mixture. Add the sago now. Keep it on a medium flame and let it cook. 
Meanwhile, heat the ghee in another shallow pan. Fry the cashews first, remove it onto a plate and then fry the raisins. 

In about 10 minutes, the vermicelli would be cooked. Switch off the flame and add the fried cashews and raisins. Also add the almond and pistachio slivers.

Sit back and enjoy the thick and creamy and delicious payasam.

Quiznos...

Ever since the American franchise, Quiznos, opened up in my work place, I wanted to try it out. They have subs, soups and salads. Quiznos doesn't have many branches in Kuwait. But one can order online through talabat . They do have a Facebook (Quiznos Kuwait), twitter  (quiznos_kw) and Instagram (quiznos_kw) accounts and a  website . Their hotline number is    188001. Their small subs are like 5 or 6 inches long and is more than enough to satiate you.  You can choose brown or white or jalapeno or rosemary Parmesan bread. I am in love with the rosemary Parmesan bread ever since I tried it.  That is how it is packaged. I bought the egg and cheddar breakfast sub on a rosemary-parmesan bread.I do not like jalapenos and pickles in my sub, so I always avoid it. And thank god they do not give you much options like Subway :). My friend ordered the steak, egg and cheddar sub. The bread is quite flavorful and light. You do not feel heavy after eating t

Tawas - an all natural deodorant

Ever since I read about deodorants and their side effects, I have been on the search for an all-natural deodorant. Coconut oil can be used since it has antibacterial properties. Just apply a small amount after bath and when you wake up you will not have smelly underarms. But once you start sweating, you end up smelling but not as bad. But then it fails totally when you do some heavy duty work like exercise. Another option is mixing equal amounts of baking soda, corn flour and coconut oil. This concoction does work but it takes time for the body to get adjusted for it to work for you. And then too, it isn't effective during exercise. And again my search was on. It was during a casual talk with a friend that she mentioned about Tawas and how she was using it as a deodorant. I couldn't wait to try it out and bought it the same day :) This is how the packaging is.  A small see through container filled up to the brim. There are scented and non-scented var

The semolina bread saga

I love to bake. It is therapeutic for me :) There is something about the measuring,sifting,kneading,pouring and seeing the fruits of my labour rising to glory in the oven. I have seen many bread recipes while roaming the cyber space but was a little scared to venture into trying a recipe; Until a friend of mine, who is an avid baker (oh my you just have to see her posts) posted photos of her home made bread on the social media. A little chat with her and she encouraged me and I went ahead and tried my hands at baking bread at home.  Oh my, bread making is a sticky process but at the end of it all, you feel proud of your creation. You can go wrong too if you are not careful. The bread can become dense if you knead it too much or add too much water. To sum it up, you need to try it out a few times before you can master it. Well, a semolina bread is what I would call a beginner bread baker recipe. You can never really go that wrong with this recipe. And a positive end resu
