Kheer (Vermicelli Pudding)
Recipe from Dalbir Chadda: This has been my all time favorite dessert.
Ever since I was very little, I can remember asking for seconds and thirds.
What makes this dessert unusual is that it is not as sweet as most Indian
desserts. It is fairly simple to make. Make sure that the vermicelli is very
ne (angel hair pasta is ok but the very ne vermicelli that can be bought
at chinese stores is the best).
Quantity Ingredient
1 stick Butter
2 handfuls Very ne vermicelli
4 cups Milk
1 pint Whipping cream
1 handful Raisins
3 tablespoons Sugar
4 Almonds (optional) peeled and thinly sliced
Method
1. Melt butter in a 4 qt. pot.
2. Break vermicelli into 3" pieces. Over low heat stir vermicelli into butter
until it turns light brown.
3. Pour in the milk and stir over medium heat until it boils.
