Seviya Kheer

By -


Vermicelli kheer or vermicelli pudding is also called seviya kheer in (north India) and payasam in (south India).
It is a very simple to make, healthy dessert. It can be made using low fat milk.
This yummy dessert is great for festival cooking and today on account of rang panchami I decided to make this.

Ingredients

1 cup thin vermicelli
4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 tsp cardamon powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg powder
few strands of saffron
nuts and raisin according to your liking.
1 tsp ghee

Method


  • In a pan,add a tsp ghee roast the nuts and raisin keep aside.
  • Now add the broken vermicelli and roast until light golden brown.Keep stiring so that they don't get burned.
  • Pour a cup of water and let the vermicelli cook until they are just soft.
  • Add the milk,sugar,cardamon powder,nuts,raisins and cook it for 7-8 min.
  • Alternatively you can just boil the milk with sugar,cardamon,nuts and raisin till it reduces to 3/4th of the quantity and add this to the cooked vermicelli.
  • Mix saffron with a tbsp of milk and add it to the kheer and mix well.Serve kheer at room temperature or chilled.

 What do you need 3 leftover chapatis/rotis 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter 1 tsp ghee 1  tbsp powdered sugar What you need to do Tear the chapatis into small pieces and pulse it through the blender couple of times till they form a coarse powder. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix everything well. Make small balls as per your preference and let it sit aside for 30 mins before serving. Notes: The chapatis must be cooked at least 7-8 hours before preparing this recipe. This recipe does not work well for fresh chapatis. For peanut allergy: You can skip the peanut butter and increase the ghee by 1 tsp. Add 1/8 tsp cardamom powder to enhance the taste. Can be stored for a couple of days refrigerated.
