This South Indian dessert is always served during festivals and special occasions. Macaroni Payasam was delicately flavored with cardamom and nuts. A great dessert for anytime of the year that anyone can cook at home.
Made with macaroni, sauteed in ghee and milk, it can be customized to your palate by adding more or less sugar. Using stove top, the delicious payasam will be ready in a matter of minutes by simmering the macaroni in a pot of milk.
The flavor of this dessert improves with time, dilute it with a little warm milk before serving since it thickens as it sits. I'm using a seashell shaped macaroni but it is great with other type of pasta too.
MACARONI PAYASAM

Macaroni in payassam, quite unique!
Yum. I love cardamom and this macaroni dessert sounds wonderful. There's a sweet noodle my Dad loves in Chinese Cuisine too. But usually cooked with a sweet base without milk. :)
Macaroni payasam looks delicious.
