Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 1 cup roasted vermicelli (sevai) 100 g or 3.5 oz, I used bambino brand
- 1 litre whole milk (full-fat milk)
- 15-20 raisins (kishmish)
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder (hari elaichi powder)
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds and pistachios
Instructions
Roast The Vermicelli
- Heat ghee in a heavy bottom pan over low heat.
- Add sevai to the pan and roast until golden brown in color, stirring very frequently (1-2 minutes).
- Remove the roasted sevai from the pan on a plate and keep them aside.
- Note – Try to remove as many sevai from the pan but if there are few left behind, worry not.
Make The Kheer
- Add milk to the same pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid scorching at the bottom of the pan.
- When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Keep scraping the sides of the pan while cooking and add the solidified milk back to the pan.
- Now add the roasted sevai and raisins.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the kheer thickens to the desired consistency, stirring frequently. Keep in mind that it will thicken further upon cooling.
- Add cardamom powder and sugar and mix well.
- Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Check for sugar and add more if needed.
- Garnish with pistachio and almond slivers.
- Serve hot or chilled.
- Note – If the kheer has thickened a lot after cooling down, then add some more milk to it.

Notes
The vermicelli comes either roasted or non-roasted. Try to get the already roasted ones as it will reduce the cooking time of the kheer. If using nonroasted vermicelli, roast them longer until they are nicely browned.
