Vermicelli kheer or Seviyan Kheer/Payasam as it is known in India, is a special dessert that is made mostly on the occasion of festivals or celebrations. It is a sweet pudding made from milk, vermicelli, spices and dry fruits.

I have added fine whole wheat vermicelli but you can also make these with the slightly thicker version of the vermicelli. The vermicelli is either made from whole wheat flour, all purpose flour or semolina.

An interesting twist in this dessert is the addition of cloves. The cloves did give the kheer a subtle and warm fragrance along with the fragrant aroma of cardamoms.

Notes

The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.

Use good quality & fresh milk.

The amount of vermicelli can be decreased or increased. if you add more vermicelli the consistency will be much thicker like a thick pudding.

You can go for the kheer consistency as per your liking.

Dry fruits can be added as per your choice.

You can also add some saffron or rose water to the kheer. I did not have any so could not add these.

When cooled the kheer tends to be thick. So if you don’t like thick kheer then don’t thicken the milk much. Alternatively, you can add some more milk to the kheer.
