Semiya Kesari - सेमिया केसरी (Vermicelli Pudding) - April Blog Hop

Hello Friends,


Here is my late entry for April Blog Hop. Another apology to Radhika and Gayatri.


Gayatri has this amazing collection of recipes. But, I specially wanted to try this one as I had created pudding out of semiya, but never a kesari, so it intrigued me and I have to say it didn't disappoint :)


Semiya Kesari - सेमिया केसरी (Vermicelli Pudding)

Ingredients
Semiya (Vermicelli) - 1 cup
Milk (I used Skim) - 2 cups
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Ghee - 1/3 cup 
Saffron - a couple of strands
Saffron Food Color - 2 pinches (optional)
Cardamom Powder - 1/2 tsp
Broken Cashew Nuts - 1 tbsp
Golden Raisins - 1 tsbp
Preparation
  • Lightly roast semiya in about 1 tbsp of ghee. Keep it aside.
  • In 2 tsp ghee, fry raisins till they are plump and cashew nuts till they are nice and golden (separately).
  • Soak saffron in a tbsp of warm milk.
  • Boil milk and add vermicelli to it and mix well.
  • Once milk is all absorbed, add sugar and cardamom powder to it.
  • When sugar is all melt, add all the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes (mixing frequently).
  • Serve it warm.

Serving
Served it as dessert. I always serve warm as that is how we prefer in our house.
