This is a very easy sweet dish prepared in most of the festivals in India. I am posting this for my own reference and to help cooking newbies. Few days back, I did not know how to make this. I would call up my aayi everytime I wanted to make this.
Some people make these Vermicelli or Shevayi(Konkani) or Shyavige(Kannada) at home. The home made variety is best comapred to the readymade. They make it very thin and it tastes amazing. My friend’s grandmother, Mrs Diwan, makes it at home. It requires a lot of expertice and patience to make these at home. I usually make this sweetdish with readymade vermicelli.
Ingredients:
1 cup vermicelli
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tea spn cardamom powder
2 cups milk
1 tbl spn ghee
1 tbl spn raisins(dried grapes)
1 tbl spn cashews
Method:
Heat ghee and fry vermicelli on a medium flame for around 4-5mins. Add milk and cook till vermicelli is completely done, mix occasionally. Add sugar, raisins, cashews and cook for another 3-4mins. Add cardamom powder, mix well and remove from heat.
Serve hot or chilled.
Serves : 3-4
Preparation time: 15mins
PS: Sugar needs to be added after vermicelli is completely cooked, otherwise, it remains raw.

Shilpa,
If you use evaporated milk, it tastes so much better.. because it is more like reducing the milk. I use both ordinary milk and evaporated milk.

Simply loved your site.
hi,
i think u forgot to add sugar! Its good if u add the sugar after shavige is cooked. Otherwise chances of milk curdling is more.
good job! I like your site!

Hi Shilpa, Best site!
Can you plz tell me how to make the dry vermicelli at home. I have seen the idiyappam recipe, but I wanted to know how to make this dry one that can be used to make shaavige paayasa. Can I just dry the idiyappam or is there any other method.
Shilpa: Pinky, it has completely different recipe and lengthy procedure. I have never tried it myself. I will post it if I find the recipe somewhere.
Thanks Shilpa. I would realy wait for it.
Hi Shilpa.. How do you make this with evaporated milk? And when can I add kesar?
It is very good but there is too much sugar.
i think half a cup of sugar is enough.
Shilpa: toto, you can add adjust the sugar as you like. I have just mentioned how much is normally used.
