Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Vermicelli / Semiya
  • 3 cups Milk
  • 300 ml Condensed Milk around 1 cup
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee
  • 15 Cashewnuts
  • 15 Raisins
  • ½ teaspoon Cardamom Powder
  • few Saffron strands

Instructions
 

  • Turn your Instant Pot on 'Sauté' mode and add ghee. Once it's hot, add cashews and raisins. Roast the cashews and raisins in a little ghee until golden brown. Remove them from the pot and keep aside.
  • Add the vermicelli to the pot and roast it for a minute. Make sure to keep stirring to avoid burning.
  • Once the vermicelli is roasted, add milk, condensed milk, and crushed cardamom or cardamom powder. If you're using saffron strands, add them at this stage. Stir everything well.
  • Close the Instant Pot with the lid and ensure the vent is set to 'Sealing' mode.
  • Select 'Porridge' mode and set the timer to 7 minutes. Close the Instant Pot with the lid.
  • Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally. This will prevent any milk from spurting out when you release the pressure.
  • After releasing the pressure, open the Instant Pot lid and stir the Payasam well. Select 'Sauté' mode and simmer for a few extra minutes if you prefer a thicker consistency.
  • Add the roasted cashew nuts and golden raisins to the semiya kheer.
  • Your delicious Instant Pot Semiya Payasam is ready to be served. You can enjoy it warm or cold, according to your preference.
