Ragi Semiya Payasam With Brown Sugar/ Millet Vermicelli Pudding With Brown Sugar

Yesterday, I decided to make semiya payasam and I went looking for ingredients in my pantry. I found a packet of Anil ragi vermicelli. Amma has been asking me to try Ragi semiya forever and, I have been seeing a lot of posts on it the last few months. So, I decided to give it a try. I started the cooking process and then I realized that I was out of white sugar. I found brown sugar in the jar and decided to add that instead. I had no clue as to how it was going to turn out. I quickly cooled a tsp of the payasam and tasted it and was relieved that it tasted good. The ragi semiya has a purple/brown color and the addition of brown sugar did not make it look weird, in fact it jelled well and I loved it.

Measuring Cup and Spoon
Heavy pan with lid

Ingredients:

Ghee - 1 tbsp
Cashew Nuts - 8 broken into pieces

  20. Very healthy payasam with milk and ragi - so apt for kids. A doubt - does brown sugar mean jaggery?

  21. Hi Rajani,

    Brown sugar is not jaggery. It is white sugar with molasses.
