Mango Vermicelli Kheer- A delicious creamy kheer made with Milk vermicelli and mangoes
Mango Vermicelli kheer- Kheer is a smooth creamy Indian dessert made with milk and rice usually but there are many version of kheer made with -sevai, lauki, apples , sabudana, carrots, makhana kheer, sweet potatoes etc. The kheer I am posting today is made with semolina sevai and mango pulp is added in it for the amazing taste and flavor.
Sevaia or sevaiyan are thin sundried noodles used to make sweet and savory items. They are made of semolina, wheat and refined flour and now healthy millet sevai are also available in the markets. In olden time fresh sevai’s are made in every house using a manual sevai press machine and then they are sundried on a rope but now very good quality of vermicelli’s are very easily available in the market so no one now bothers to make at home.
As soon as summer season began we try different recipes and dishes with ripe or raw mangoes. So many variety of pickles , chutneys , curries and desserts are made and created with this king fruit. Mango Rabdi, falooda, Ice cream, kulfi, Shrikhand ,Phirni , Aamras are often made during summer in most of the houses. This vermicelli mango kheer was sent my a friend last year and every one at my home loved it . Now this sevai kheer is made often at my place during mango season.
I have used MTR brand semolina vermicelli for making this recipe but you can use any brand or type which you normally use at your place. Bambino is also a good brand to use. You can use roasted , unroasted ,very fine one or medium thick which ever type you have, can be used. If using roasted ones then the cooking time will be reduced but personally I prefer unroasted ones as I find there texture better but you can use as per your preference.
I used Alphanso mango to make this kheer but you can use any variety of mango but avoid the one which are too fibrous or stain the pulp to remove the fibers . If fresh mangoes are not available then you can use canned mango puree . For a variation you can add strawberry puree, chikoo puree too or add mango puree in regular rice kheer and make Mango Rice Rice. For vegan version you can use almond milk, Cashew milk, soy milk etc.
