VERMICELLI KHEER -AN INDIAN DESSERT

This is one of the most common desserts in India. It is very quick and easy to prepare. This pudding, called "Kheer", is made with either toasted vermicelli or rice and is my favorite Indian dessert. There are a lot of versions to this dessert. Aside from rice or vermicelli, some add rose water, vanilla, almond or other kind of nuts. Sometimes saffron is added not only for taste but for color of course. Jaggery can also be a substitute for sugar. Others calls for condensed milk, I’ve used both but it does not make any difference, it still taste sweet and creamy.

Ingredients:

1 cup roasted vermicelli
6 cups milk
1 cup sugar
raisins
pinch of cardamom powder or 2 cardamom pods
cashew nuts or other nuts like pistachios

Boil the milk. Add roasted vermicelli and cook for 10-12 minutes.

Add sugar and, raisins cashew nuts and cardamom.

Mix well, boil for 2 -3 minutes and serve.

Could be served hot or cold. I like mine hot.


YOU CAN ROAST YOUR OWN BUT IF YOU CAN BUY THIS W/ THE PRICE...PLS..BUY THEM. THIS PACKAGE GOES A LONG WAY.
