Vermicelli Kheer (Shevayanchi kheer)

A very common desert  made for festivals or puja or any normal day. Its one of my fav sweet dishes. My toddler too enjoys it I add lots of powdered cashews and almonds when making for her. So here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:
Roasted Vermicelli - 4 tbs
milk - 2 cups
sugar - 3 tbs
cashews - 8 roasted in ghee
raisins- few roasted in ghee
almonds - 8 to 10 chopped
saffron - a pinch
cardamom powdered - 1/2 tsp
nutmeg - a pinch

Method:
Boil milk along with vermicelli, sugar, saffron , nutmeg. Boil for at least 10 to 15 minutes the vermicelli should be very soft and the milk will start changing the color. Add the roasted cashews, raisins and chopped almonds with cardamom boil for 5 minutes and switch off the flame.

P.S. My mother always says me to add very little salt when preparing sweet dishes. I always add it.

Enjoy hot or chilled.
