Heat one spoon of ghee in a thick bottomed pan ( like small urulli ) and fry the cashew nuts and raisins till golden brown, remove and keep aside. Roast the vermicelli in the remaining ghee till golden brown , remove and set it aside. Heat the cow's milk with the remaining water in the same pot and boil it .Once it boiled, reduce the heat and add the remaining sugar and mix well. Place the roasted vermicelli and stir well . Then cook uncovered and stir with a spatula or big spoon continuously.Make sure it doesn't stick at the bottom of the pan.When the vermicelli is cooked, put in the cooked sago and mix well. Add a pinch of salt for taste. Add coconut milk and cardamom powder. Hmmmm....it's smells fragrant with rich aroma.Then turn of the heat.Don't boil the Payasam too long.
Finally add the fried cashew nuts and raisins and mix well.Yummy Payasam is ready!:-) Serve hot or chilled and enjoy!
