PRESENTATION:

Chop almonds and pistachios and fry. Sprinkle and serve.

NOTE:

• If you don't like more vermicelli in milk, use half packet and store rest of it in an airtight shopper or container. When you want to cook again, fried vermicellis would be ready to use. Just boil milk and add it. It will be cooked fast.


• In summers, sheer khurma gets stale fast so cook as much as you need. Fried vermicellies can be cooked again quickly.


• You can also use khoya while preparing vermicelli milk.
