It is a very popular sweet dish in Indian households, especially during festivals and special occasions. It is traditionally made by roasting vermicelli and slow-cooking it in milk until creamy and aromatic. This is an easy and indulgent way to prepare the kheer, which is not only simple to make but also extremely tempting.

I always like to add my own personal touch to every sweet dish by experimenting with flavors and textures, so tried different Indian dessert recipes. Presentation is equally important, so garnishing the kheer properly with nuts and seeds makes it look appealing.

Moreover, I will share some easy and important tips and tricks while preparing vermicelli kheer at home. Firstly, roasting the vermicelli on a medium flame is very important, as it enhances its aromatic flavor and prevents it from turning mushy in the kheer. Secondly, always keep stirring the milk and vermicelli continuously to avoid burning or sticking at the bottom of the kadhai. Thirdly, garnishing the kheer with chopped nuts, pistachios, or pumpkin seeds not only improves the appearance but also adds a lovely crunch and richness. Lastly, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day. Before serving, gently reheat it on a low flame or in the microwave, stirring well to restore its creamy texture.
