VERMICELLI PUDDING (SEVAI KHEER)

Steps:

• Set a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add oil.
• Once it's hot, add vermicelli. If you're using roasted vermicelli, just stir-saute for about 1 minute. If you're using unroasted vermicelli, stir-saute for 5-6 minutes or until it's golden brown.
• Add the soy milk + saffron and give it a quick stir. Cover the saucepan and cook over low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Add sugar + almonds + cashews + raisins + cardamom powder. Mix well.
• Cover the saucepan and cook over low-medium heat for another 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently.
• Vegan vermicelli pudding kheer is done! Turn off the heat and serve hot or chilled.

SEVIYAAN (VERMICELLI MILK PUDDING)

Steps:

• Wash a saucepan with cold water and shake out the excess.
• Place pan over medium flame and heat the milk, stirring often until it is near boiling (should take 10 minutes). Scrape the walls and base of the pan while heating, to prevent the milk sticking.
• Lower heat to med-low, and cook uncovered, stirring every 5-10 minutes until the milk is reduced by about 1/3 (this should take about 1 hour).
• Add the roasted vermicelli into the reduced hot milk. The vermicelli can be broken into smaller pieces first to make it easier to handle. Roasted vermicelli should be available in packets from Indian or Pakistani grocery stores.
• The vermicelli will soften after 2-3 minutes. Add the ghee (optional) and mix it through. Continue to cook seviyaan over med-low a further 5 minutes.
• Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. You may want to add 1 cup first and taste the seviyaan after the sugar dissolves fully to see if you want the dessert to be any sweeter.
• Stir through the cardamom powder, then let the seviyaan thicken over med-low heat for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture sticking.
• Serve warm in individual bowls garnished with pistachio nuts. If chilling, cover with plastic wrap that is in contact with the surface of the pudding, let cool almost to room temperature and then chill several hours in the fridge.

• Add the vermicelli to the boiling milk and cook for 10 minutes.

• Add about ¼ cup of dry fruits and half the dates. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from fire.
• Garnish with remaining dry fruits and dates. Serve hot.
