Vermicelli Pudding is a kind of kheer prepared using vermicelli, milk, sugar, vanilla extract and custard. This pudding is thicker, creamier and more flavorful than the usual kheer.
Ingredients:
Vermicelli – 1 cup
Milk – 4 cups
Sugar – 1 1/2 cups (adjust according to taste)
Vanilla Flavored Custard Powder – 2 tsps
Vanilla Essence – 5 to 6 drops
Cashew nuts – 10
Raisins – 10
Almond Flakes – 2 tbsps
Ghee – 1 tbsp
Method:
- Heat a tsp of ghee in a wok and fry vermicelli until they turn light golden brown.
- Boil fried vermicelli in 1 1/2 cups of water until it is cooked. Keep stirring frequently.
- Add sugar and continue boiling until the sugar melts completely.
- Mix custard powder with 2 tbsps of milk and keep aside.
- Now add remaining milk and let it boil on low flame until milk thickens little bit.
- Add custard powder mixed with milk and vanilla essence. Boil for 3-4 mins and turn off the heat.
- Take remaining ghee and roast cashew nuts, raisins and almond flakes and pour this over the pudding.
P.S: Keep the consistency a little thinner than how you want it before serving as the pudding thickens on cooling.
