Frequently Asked Questions

What Else Can I Add to the Vermicelli Kheer?

This vermicelli kheer calls for the use of classic ingredients, but if you want to go a step further, you can also add some condensed milk into it. Remember that if you’re doing this, you might want to cut down on the amount of sugar you’re adding in. side view of vermicelli kheer

How Do I Thicken the Kheer?

The best way to thicken the kheer is to let it reduce on low flame, while stirring constantly. Alternatively, you can add some milk solids into it and give it a good mix.

What Other Nuts Can I Add?

We’ve used cashews and almonds for this recipe, but you can use practically any other nuts you have at hand. Chopped pistachios and whole golden raisins are some good options. They work well along with the other ingredients of the dish. top view of vermicelli kheer

Tips & Tricks to Make the Vermicelli Kheer

Ready to give this recipe a try? Here are a few more tips and tricks you might want to take note of. 

  • Remember to use whole milk for this recipe- the creaminess and flavor it will lend the kheer is unmatched. 
  • To add some more flavor and a bit of color to the vermicelli kheer, add a couple of strands of saffron into it while it is still simmering. 
  • To make this dessert a bit healthy, you can swap the sugar in the recipe for some jaggery. This might cause the kheer to have a slightly deeper color, but it will end up tasting absolutely fantastic. 
  • A splash of rosewater added to the kheer can again, elevate the flavors of the dish to the next level. 
  • If you want to cut down on the cooking time for this recipe, you can buy roasted vermicelli from the store, and use it instead of regular vermicelli. This will let you skip on the step of browning the vermicelli first.
