Vermicelli Kheer
The vermicelli kheer is a delicious Indian dessert. It is usually served with puri but tastes good even if eaten as is. It has a creamy texture and a melt in your mouth taste.

Notes
I have used pre roasted store bought vermicelli. I have sauted the vermicelli for 1 minute in ghee to coat it with ghee. If using regular vermicelli, roast it till it gets golden brown.
Use of almond and cashew puree helps to thickens the kheer and also give it a rich taste. The kheer gets thick as it sits on the counter.
