Chef's Tips
Browning the vermicelli in ghee before adding milk gives the kheer a nutty, caramelised depth.
Seviyan Kheer is an Eid and festival special across Bhopal and the Muslim communities of Madhya Pradesh.
For a richer kheer, replace 200 ml milk with cream and add at the end.
The kheer thickens considerably as it cools — make it slightly thinner than desired consistency.
