Noodle Payasam Recipe

Delicately Seasoned Pudding With Rice Noodle Vermicelli

in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or the top of a double boiler, sauté in ghee for a few seconds:

2 TBS super-fine rice vermicelli

Add:

1 quart whole milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

pinch saffron

unsalted cashew nuts and/or raisins, fried in a little butter (opt.)

Continue simmering over low heat, stirring periodically, until thickened and reduced to about half the volume - aobut 1-2 hours. If using a double boiler, check the water level in the bottom of the pan now and then.

Be patient with this dessert- the thickening takes time. Low-fat milk does not thicken as well as whole milk does.
