Made this scrumptious kheer on the occasion of Varalakshmi 🙏🙏 Let Goddess Varalakshmi who is an aspect of Sri Mahalakshmi shower blessings on you and your family on this auspicious day.

Ingredients:
· Vermicelli / Seviyan – ¾ cup (I have used the fine roasted ones)
· Water – 1 cup
· Milk – 1 ltr.
· Sugar – 1 cup (adjust as per your preference)
· Ghee – 1.5 tsp
· Cardamom powder – ¼ spoon
· Almonds (small pieces) - optional
· Cashews (small pieces) - optional
Method:
· Take a utensil and boil the milk, stirring occasionally. Once it starts to boil, lower the flame and let the quantity of the milk reduce, the more you reduce the tastier is your kheer. Reduce till it is roughly ¾ ltr.
· By the time the milk is thickening, we can start with the next step of roasting the vermicelli.
· Heat a pan with some ghee and roast the vermicelli on low flame till it turns aromatic, now add dry fruits to it, roast till it turns golden brown in colour.
· Now add the boiling water and let the vermicelli/ seviyan cook in the water. Once it is completely cooked add sugar. Give a good mix, keep it stirring. Once done, turn off the flame.
· Now lower the flame of the milk, slowly add the sweetened vermicelli in the milk. And keep it stirring. Cook for another 4-5 minutes. Now add the cardamom powder, mix it well.
· Turn off the flame, Seviyan kheer is ready to be served.
· You can serve it chilled or hot, as per your preference.
