Vermicelli Kheer

Vermicelli Kheer -

As earlier said in my Rice Kheer recipe that Kheer can be prepared in different ways. In this one vermicelli has been used that replaced the rice from the Rice Kheer recipe.

Ingredients:

Vermicelli 1 cup
Pure ghee 2 tablespoons
Cashew-nuts 10 - 12
Green cardamom powder 1/4 teaspoon
Sugar 1/4 cup
Milk 4 cups
Saffron (kesar) a few strands
Nutmeg powder 1/4 teaspoon

Method:

Heat the ghee and roast vermicelli, add cashew-nuts and fry till a pleasant aroma is released. Dissolve saffron in some warm milk. Boil the remaining milk and simmer till it is half the original quantity, stirring all the time. Add to the roasted vermicelli and simmer for further 5 minutes. Add sugar and continue cooking, stirring well. Add saffron dissolved in milk and sprinkle cardamom powder and nutmeg powder. Stir well and serve the way you want - hot, warm or chilled.
