Shavige Payasa (Vermicelli pudding)

Shavige payasa (vermicelli pudding) step-by-step recipe with photos.

Shavige payasa or vermicelli pudding - the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of sweets or desserts. This humble dessert is an integral part of my kitchen. I have it millions of times and will never get enough of it. At my home, no occasion is complete without it. This pudding is made with wheat vermicelli. Make this on any occasion or just to satisfy your sweet tooth!

To make this pudding, I roast vermicelli in some ghee/clarified butter. I boil milk in a saucepan and add the roasted vermicelli and cook it completely. I then add sugar and combine everything with cardamom powder, saffron, and nuts & raisins. And it ready! So so comforting... I can eat it every day!
