Creamy Almond Vermicelli Kheer

When i read about the event Ayeesha was hosting at her blog" TASTE OF PEARLCITY" i wanted to send in an entry and immediately decided on Kheer because this was meant for Ramadan and i felt festivity would always be incomplete without a traditional sweet dish.

Like most of us i cook Vermicelli kheer on almost all festivals. It tastes good but i was sort of bored with the same taste .So i decided to give it a little flavour and a creamy texture and i added almond to the kheer and a cooked a very tasty creamy almond vermicelli kheer:-)

INGREDIENTS

Milk 1 LT

Vermicelli 1/4 cup

Almond 1/4 cup

Saffron few strands
