Semiya payasam premix helps for instant Payasam variety that can be prepared within 10 minutes. It is a tasty make-ahead dessert that goes well with Indian dishes and a non-Indian meal.
should I roast the almond flour?
Almond flour gives richness and taste to the Payasam. You can use milk powder or skip it
Roasting nuts
Always roast nuts in low flame. Grind the nuts only after it is completely cool.
Roasted semiya
I recommend thin roasted semiya as gets cooked fast. if you are using unroasted semiya, roast first then roast cashews
will the payasam be thick?
yes, payasam tends to turn thick since we have added mixed nuts. if you prefer thin payasam, increase the milk or reduce the payasam mix. adjust the sugar accordingly.
Shelf life of Payasam Premix
It stays good at room temperature for a month. Since we used ghee I would recommend keeping it long. See more Payasam recipes
