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.
