Badam Kheer with Vermicelli

I am all exited when I saw that my blog has 100 followers. Oh yes today it became 101 too.I was down with fever & cold  for past 3 days & yesterday morning when I realized about it I just couldn't wait making some sweet dish as a sign of celebration. I decided on making Badam Kheer & I felt it was kind of easy considering my situation & went a head making it. It was just awesome & satisfied my sweet tooth a lot. 


Ingredients
1Cup vermicelli 
2Tsp ghee
10 Almonds/badam 
2Cups milk 
1/2Cup sugar (Adjust sugar if needed)
1Tsp cardamon Powder 
1Tsp sliced almonds 
Pinch of saffron flower/kumkum puvvu

Blanching  almonds
Take water in a vessel & bring to boil. Now add almonds to the water. Allow them to boil for few mins & switch off heat. 
Filter almonds & allow them to cool. Now peel of the almonds skin & grind them to a smooth paste with little milk. 

Take a wide pan and heat it with ghee. Add vermicelli to it & light fry them ( This will give a unique taste to vermicelli). Once done add milk to the pan & bring it to boil. Cook till vermicelli is done.
Take a little warm milk along with saffron & mix well. 
Now add sugar & almond paste to pan & bring it to boil. Now switch off heat and mix cardamon powder & saffron milk. 

Serve it with almonds sprinkled on it.


Note:  
1.You can also add sabudana in place of vermicelli.
