Semiya Paayasam (Serves 4)

One of the simplest paayasams to prepare with everyday ingredients in your pantry. This year’s onam was celebrated in our house with this easy and delicious semiya paayasam. We didn’t have much time for an elaborate preparation as we were busy packing for our relocation to Indianapolis. We moved and is settling down at the new place and is liking every bit of it and hence the silence for a week. I am back in kitchen with full fledged cooking and has listed an array of awesome recipes to blog . Happy cooking and hope you all will enjoy making this yummy semiya paayasam…
