COOKS WISDOM
TIP 1
1. Its better to boil semiya and sago separately as they both get cooked in a different time, roasting them in ghee helps them to not stick and clump together.
TIP 2
2. Get small variety of sago to so instant payasam, if you are using big variety it might need soaking time of 1-2 hrs. Also if you are soaking in water skip the roasting in ghee step.
TIP 3
3. You can add saffron strands / use jaggery to make the same payasam its upto your preference.
