Javvarisi Semiya Payasam

#JavvarisiSemiyaPayasam is commonly done on special occasions, marriage feasts and festival days. It is very easy to prepare and also takes very less time to cook. There are two types of javvarisi ( sego - sabudhana ). The ordinary variety takes less time to soak well in water. The other one is generally called nylon javvarisi which takes very long time to soak and also to cook. Nylon javvarisi has to be fried in ghee until the globules become fluffy and cooked well before start preparing this payasam.
I have taken the ordinary one.
 Approximately a cup of payasam can be prepared.

Ingredients :
1 Tbsp                                Javvarisi ( Sego )
1 Tbsp                                Semiya roasted ( Vermiselli )
1 pinch                                Salt
1 Cup                                  Milk
1 1/2 Tbsp ( adjust )           Sugar
3 to 4 strings                       Saffron
2 Tsp                                  Almond shavings
1/4 Tsp                              Cardamom powder
OR
2 drops                             Venilla essence

Method :
Soak javvarisi for 15 minutes.

After 15 minute take milk in a vessel.
Heat over a slow flame and when it is boiling add soaked javvarisi.
Cook till sego becomes soft.
Then add semiya and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
Now add sugar and mix with a ladle to dissolve sugar.
Simmer for 5 minutes. Then add saffron and cardamom powder.
Again allow to simmer for 2 more minutes.
Turn off the stove and transfer into a serving bowl.

Garnish with almond shavings.
Or garnish with roasted cashew nuts.

Note :
If nylon sego is used then it has to be fried with ghee until it pops up. Then pressure cooked for a whistle and 5 minutes on SIM.
Then follow the above method.
