SHAVIGE PAYASA RECIPE/VERMICELLI KHEER-KARNATAKA RECIPES

Actually I wanted to share Karnataka style Holige as Varamahalakshmi festival recipe. But unfortunately I couldn’t make it as I expected. Next to holige, people in Karnataka make this shavige payasa for most of the festivals. So I thought of posting this simple and quick fix dessert recipe, vermicelli kheer on this auspicious day. In Tamil nadu, we make paal payasam aka semiya payasam in a similar way but we make it slightly watery in drinkable consistency. But here, people make it thick like vermicelli pudding in spoonable consistency. But tastes so good. U can make it rich by adding condensed milk(milk maid) or khoya/ kova. Some of my friends here add MTR badam milk mix to give a nice flavor, color and richness to this kheer. Ok, Lets see how to prepare this droolable shavige payasa.

Wish you all a very happy Varamahalakshmi festival. May we all get the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi on this wonderful day.

Note

Adjust the quantity of milk as per the desired consistency. U can also add 2 tbsp of condensed milk or khova to get a rich taste. In that case reduce the quantity of sugar. Adding MTR badam powder is optional. But I have tasted in some of my friend’s houses. It tastes great with a nice flavor.
