Mom's Easy Vermicelli Pudding image

One of my mom's signature, no-fail recipes, this pudding (or kheer as it is called here in India) is really simple to make, with the most easily available ingredients (but not saffron, I agree!). Enjoy :-)

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vermicelli or 3 tablespoons spaghetti (Spaghetti makes the pudding thicker and heavier, I prefer vermicelli)
1 cup skim milk
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ghee or 1 teaspoon butter (Use ghee for authenticity!)
1 teaspoon cashews, chopped
1/8 teaspoon saffron (Only if you can afford it! :)

Steps:

  • Place a pan on a medium-high flame and lightly roast the vermicelli.
  • Add the milk and keep stirring until it boils.
  • Reduce the flame to low and add the saffron.
  • Stir every 5 minutes to keep the milk from getting scalded.
  • In about 20 minutes, the vermicelli will be cooked.
  • Add condensed milk, sugar, and stir again till it boils.
  • Remove from flame.
  • In a small frying pan, roast the cashewnuts in ghee; then add (along with the ghee leftover in the frying pan) to the cooked vermicelli-milk mixture.
  • Pour into dessert cups and serve hot, or after cooling and chilling in the refrigerator (chilling for a few hours gives the pudding a thicker texture).
