Chocolate payasam

Ingredients: Indian Vermicelli  - 1/4 cup Milk- 1 cup Sugar - 2 tbsp or as per taste Coco powder - 1 tbsp Chocolate chips - 8-10 Cardamom power - 1/2 teaspoon Cashew Nuts - 5-6 Raisins - 6-8 Ghee - 2 tbsp Condensed Milk - 1 tbsp Method:           Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee & roast the cashews until they are light brown. Remove & keep aside.Roast raisins separately & keep aside.In the same pan, roast the vermicelli for about 1-2 minutes until they turn light brown.             Bring the milk to boil & add the vermicelli & mix well.Stir frequently to avoid the vermicelli settling at the bottom or burning.As the vermicelli cooks, you'll find the milk thickening.When the consistency is thicker, add sugar,coco powder & cardamom powder and let it cook for another 2 minutes(don't let it thicken too much coz it anyways tends to thicken on cooling).          Now add condensed milk & mix.Condensed milk helps the payasam to thicken well and also gives the sweet a great taste.Add cashews,raisins & mix well. Serve chilled by adding chocolate chips :-),u can serve warm also. Love, Roshu
