Ingredients
To Roast the Semiyan
- 1 tablespoon vegan ghee
- ¾ cup semiya
To Roast the Nuts
- 1 tablespoon vegan ghee
- 2 tablespoon cashews
- 2 tablespoon pistachios
- 2 tablespoon almonds
To Prepare Semiyan Payasam
- 3 cups Nut milk creamer
- 11.25 oz oats condensed milk
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon saffron
- silver vark optional
- 2 edible rose petals optional
Instructions
To roast the Semiyan
- Heat vegan ghee in a pan, then roast the vermicelli for 2-3 minutes on low-medium heat. If using pre-roasted vermicelli, you can skip this step. Stir frequently to ensure even roasting and avoid burning. The vermicelli should turn light golden. Chef tip: Add 2-3 cloves to the ghee before frying the vermicelli to infuse it with a subtle, aromatic flavor.
- Once roasted, transfer the vermicelli to a plate.
To Roast the Nuts
- Heat vegan ghee in a pan and roast the chopped pistachios, cashews, and almonds for 1-2 minutes on low-medium heat.
- Once roasted, transfer the nuts to a plate. You can break them into smaller pieces if desired.
To Prepare Semiyan Payasam
- Add dairy-free creamer or milk to a pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Next, add the oat condensed milk.
- Followed by the roasted vermicelli. Stir and cook until the vermicelli is fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes on medium heat. Be sure to keep stirring the milk and scrape the sides of the pan as it cooks.
- Finally, mix in the roasted nuts and remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with cardamom powder, saffron, and ground nutmeg. Stir well. Semiyan Payasam is ready!
Notes
The more vermicelli you add, the thicker the Dairy-Free Semiya Kheer will be. Stick to the vermicelli-to-milk ratio in this Kheer recipe for a good, drinkable consistency. Raisins can be substituted with chopped dried dates. If you're allergic to nuts, swap them with roasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavors of this delicious Semiya Kheer. For a colorful twist to the Vermicelli Kheer, try adding flavors like chocolate, rose, strawberry, mango, or chikoo puree.
