Its festival season and today we had "Avani Avittam". Men in the family change their Holy white thread. It's one of my favorite festivals because once in a blue moon (well actually full moon day they chant slogam and perform some rituals). 

Usually for festival women performs pooja, cook and do all the work. This time men in family do this and stil cooking part is with women. 😂

This year "Avani Avittam" is very special for us. We wanted to put " Kalla Poonal" (ponnal worn before Uppanayianum is called so) for Vishvak.  Jagadish took in charge of dressing him up, it took him few minutes (more than that:-)) to tie pattu veshti for him.

Previously we have dressed him will Velcro veshti, but his the first time trying traditional one. I can imagine how easy it would have been for Jagadish to make Vishvak cooperate. After little cheats hubby put him punnal but it didn't last for more than 10 minutes:-) The toughest thing was to click pictures, with vishvak running around.

I was running behind him and cooked a simple lunch. Vendaka (ladies finger) Moor Kuzhambu, potato fry (without onion), rasam, Semiya payasam, Vadai (without onion), Appam.

Semiya payasam is one of my favorite payasam since my childhood days. Those days taste made me like it, now a days after I started cooking, I like the way it can be cooked quickly. It's a perfect bachelor or spinster recipe. No fancy ingredients. Condensed milk gives an extra flavor to this payasam. 

 While tasting payasam I thought why didn't I post one of my favorite payasam yet. I searched in my draft, had Semiya Payasam. Now it has decided to fly from my draft.

Notes

1. If you don’t have evaporated milk, condensed milk can be used instead. Use ¼ cup to ⅓ cup (according to your taste). Adjust the sugar accordingly
2. Condensed milk payasam tends to thicken overtime. Adjust the milk quantity accordingly
3. Vermicelli can be cooked in water and add milk after that
4. Raisins, almonds etc. can be used for extra flavor and taste
5.  Can add saffron for extra flavour
6. Avoid closing the payasam with a lid while cooking. It might make the payasam watery
7.  If you don't have time to stir take a pressure cooker add vermicelli and ghee cook for a minute; add 2 cups of milk and cover the lid. Cook till the steam comes.Once when pressure releases naturally add remaining milk and condensed milk and salt, cook for 3-5 minutes, switch off. Add sugar
8. Payasam can be made without condensed and evaporated milk. Boil little extra milk for longer time and reduce it for Paal payasam texture
