If you are a South Indian or ever been a part of any Southern Indian festivities, you must have come across Semiya Payasam – a vermicelli milk pudding. It is so easy, so very common and really loved by a majority of people out there.
For the plain and simple Semiya Payasam recipe, you can check out my recipe here. I have also made a variation to it with this Carrot Semiya Payasam recipe. This Mango Semiya Payasam recipe is my third variation to this very popular recipe.
One reason why this is so very popular is because, the vermicelli are small noodles and that somehow seems to entice the younger folks a little and it is also so much easier to make than any other payasams because, the semiya cooks really fast and you can make it in about 15 mins, if you want to.
Without further ado, lets move on to the recipe for this Mango Semiya Payasam.
