Saraswathi pooja is a popular Hindu festival, which is celebrated on the 9 th day of the Navarathri. On this auspicious day people offer payasam, medhuvadai and sundal as neivedyam to the Goddess saraswathi.
Here is the recipe for semiya rava payasam. Payasam is a traditional Indian dessert. Most people use javvarasi/ sago to make payasam for pooja. Instead of javvarasi I used rava.

Steps

1

Boil milk in a pan.
Heat a pan with ghee, roast the raisins and cashew,and keep it aside.
2

In a same pan roast semiya and rava. Once semiya and rava becomes golden then add milk and bring to boil.
3

When semiya gets roasted and rava and cook, add sugar and cardamom powder. Let it be simmer for some time.
4

Finally add roasted nuts. Now yummy and creamy payasam is ready to serve.

Instead of cardamom we can use Rose essence for flavour. If payasam gets thicken, add boiled milk and serve hot.
I hope this post would help beginners to make simple neivedyam for the pooja.
