I cooked semiya payasam over an induction stove. Let me present the method of preparing tasty yummy semiya payasam.
The given ingredients is enough to prepare 1 cup of payasam.

Ingredients :
1 1/4cup	Milk
2 Tbsp	Semiya roasted [ Vermicelli ]
1 Tbsp	Sugar [ adjust ]
1 pinch	Salt
1/4 Tsp	Cardamom powder
3 - 5 strings	Saffron [ Kesar/kunguma poo ]
1 Tsp	Almond shavings*

*Instead cashew roasted in ghee can be used.

Method :
Take milk in a vessel and set induction stove at 800 temperature setting.
Heat the milk.
When it starts to boil, reduce temperature setting to 120 and then add semiya and salt.
Semiya does not take too much time to turn soft.
When it turns soft add sugar.
Mix well to dissolve sugar completely.
Let it simmer for 10 minutes and the payasam becomes thicker.
Milk gets reduced to less than a cup.
Finally add kesar strings and cardamom powder.
Transfer into a serving bowl.
Garnish with almond shavings/ cahews.

Enjoy payasam with hot vada or bajji.

Note:
 If it is not roasted semiya, roast in a kadai with a drop of ghee till golden brown.

Heat a kadai on a stove over slow flame.
Add semiya and 2 - 3 drops of ghee.
Keep stirring till semiya turns golden color.
