Vermicelli kheer is a popular 'prasad'. Back in the day it was made only during poojas as naivedya or on special occasions like birthdays. These days though, it's made just about anytime of the year.
Vermicelli kheer can be as thick or runny as you like. The more milk is added the runnier it will be. The lesser the milk, the more custard-like. You could use any kind of milk, though traditionally, full fat milk is used.
The Vermicelli (शेवया) are made from wheat. There are different varieties of the same. As a general thumb rule, the thicker the vermicelli, the longer it will take to cook and the better it will hold its shape when cooked. The savoury preparation of vermicelli is called 'shevayancha upma' (शेवयांचा उपमा) for which, I prefer using the thick variety.
Here's how to make the runny kheer with fine vermicelli. You could of course substitute the vermicelli with you favourite kind!
