    Vermicelli Kheer or Semiya Payasam is the basic and easy simple kheer prepared with Vermicelli, Milk, and Sugar.

    Vermicelli Kheer

    We wish you all a very happy and prosperous Tamil New Year. To give a brief context about Tamil New Year to all readers who are not aware of the festival. It is the celebration of the first day of the Tamil year. It falls in mid-April by Tamils in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry in India, Sri Lankan Tamils, Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka, and by Tamils in Malaysia, Singapore, Réunion, and Mauritius. The festive occasion is in keeping with the Hindu solar calendar. (Source wiki)

    It is the first day of chithirai (Tamil Month) month. Tamil New Year and Malayalam New Year (Vishu) are celebrated almost around the same time. The common thing about both the festivals is food plays an important role. Vegetarian food takes priority. This is our first new year after starting the blog hence we are starting with a sweet recipe indeed. Yes, Semiya Payasam/Vermicelli Kheer !! However, Mango Pachadi is the principal dish during this festival.
