From the New Year's Day I am trying to post this recipe and finally now only got time to sit and write post. A proper winter(freezing weather) started here from last week and this whole month going
to be in minus degrees. This year till Christmas it was a warm winter and we loved it and enjoyed going out during weekends. But now I hate to go out and also I am bit lazy too, mostly I stay home and ask V to do grocery shopping and other stuff.

Now coming to the recipe, Slow Cooker Rice Kheer, I bought Bella slow cooker druing Thanks Giving Sale and trying few Indian recipes. I am loving this slow cooking concept and the gadget is working fine, no stir no saute no mess and easy one pot cooking.

Even without condensed milk, the kheer was so milky and creamy and the rice also cooked so soft and perfectly. I tried this kheer twice within a month, and it is our recent favorite slow cook recipe. I also tried Khichdi, Chicken Tikka Curry, Beans Soup, Masoor Dal Sambar and everything turned out good. On New Year's day i made this Rice Kheer specially to share here and took pictures.

Vermicelli Kheer Recipe - Happy Mothers Day

“I regard no man as poor who has a godly mother.” - Abraham Lincoln.... Happy Mothers Day to You all...

    Vermicelli Kheer my mom's favorite Indian dessert. I made this today for her though she is not staying with me now..i shared the pictures with her :)  Few words about my Mom on this special day...I can say that My Mom is one of the bestest Mom n Woman in the world. She is more talented and she struggled lot to brought up me n my sister. She faced n still facing so many problems with my dad's family n relatives. Literally she is living for us and sacrificed many things only for her children. After my marriage she was totally depressed, as I left her n now after my sister's marriage again she was left alone. She was physically n mentally more tired ;(  Her only relaxation is my skype call through which she can see me n her grandsons..so daily I will spare at least some 30 minutes for her.
Respect your parents n understand their feelings in their old age. When I was pregnant..really for the first time in my life I am able to understand the Meaning of a Mom n able to fee the pain n struggle she faced to brought us up. When I became a Mom....I was so so happy n that moment felt proud to born as a woman. Once again happy mothers day to all. My Mom n Me being a Mom is the greatest assert in my life n the precious gift given by the Almighty. 

Coming to the recipe...I referred sanjeev kapoor's vermicelli kheer recipe.

Ingredients

1. Vermicelli    1/4 cup
2. Milk    3 and 1/2 cups(i used 1% low fat milk)
3. Sweetened condensed milk    1/2 of a 8 oz can
4. Cardamom powder   1 tsp
5. Ghee/butter     1 tbsp
6. Raisins     10 no.s
7. Cashewnuts     10-12 no.s
8. Almonds    7 no.s(blanched n sliced)
9. Cashew nut powder    1-2 tbsp(coarsely powdered cashew nuts)

Method

• Heat a tbsp of ghee in a nonstick vessel and fry the cashew nuts and raisins separately and keep aside.
• In the same pan.roast the vermicelli till flavor n turns light golden brown and keep aside.
• In the same vessel add 3 and 1/2 cups of milk and allow to boil.
• When it starts boiling add the roasted vermicelli and keep stirring to prevent get burnt at the bottom.
• After 2-3 minutes add the sweetened condensed milk and stir well.
• After 1 minute add the cashew nut powder and cardamom powder(or crush 3-4 whole cardamoms) and keep stirring until the desired consistency.
• Lastly add the ghee roasted cashews n raisins and also some blanched almonds.

I didn't add sugar...the sweet of condensed milk is enough to me..if u want you can add some sugar along with condensed milk as in the original recipe.This time the vermicelli which i bought was too thin n short than the regular .because of light problem not able to take clear pictures of the kheer ...sorry !!

Vermicelli-Sago Payasam/Vermicelli-Sago Kheer

But today i made Medhu vada n i love this combo too :) This Payasam is one of the easy n simple nevedhiyam. The recipe as follows...
