    Use nuts of choice

    I have used white almonds. You can use any variety of nuts according to your choice. 

    Should I roast millet vermicelli?

    Yes, it gives perfect texture for the payasam. It also turns the payasam aromatic. 

    CAN I COOK millet vermicelli IN WATER?

    Yes, you can cook millet in water and add milk. To make millet kheer rich and delicious I personally prefer cooking in milk

    CAN I USE regular sugar?

    Yes, you can use any variety of sweeter of your choice. If you are using jaggery or palm sugar make sure it is without impurities else milk might curdle.

    Will payasam curdle if we cook after adding palm sugar?

    The palm sugar I used was without any impurities so I added it directly. If you are doubtful, filter then add.

    CAN I USE ROOM TEMPERATURE MILK FOR millet kheer?

    It is preferred to use hot milk while making payasam as it helps for faster cooking.

    Amount of milk

    It depends on the way you prefer payasam. My measurement yields rich, thick creamy payasam. If you prefer liquid millet vermicelli kheer adjust milk/water accordingly.

    Can I skip evaporated milk?

    Evaporated milk makes the payasam extra delicious. If you don't have it, boil 4 cups of milk till reduce to 1/3 quantity and add it to the payasam.
