    Vermicelli pudding (sweet noodles in milk) besides being my favorite dessert, tops my list as it is easy to make and takes the least amount of my time. This dessert is popularly known as "vermicelli kheer", "sevai kheer" or "sheer khurma". It can be enjoyed anytime of the year as it can be served warm or chilled.

    Traditionally, sevai kheer was made by cooking the noodles in boiling milk. This required monitoring to ensure that milk does not overflow. But with the instant pot, making this Indian vermicelli dessert has become a time saver.

    At times I also use the Everest milk masala which is an exotic blend of nuts and spices which adds flavor to any Indian dessert.

    After adding the ingredients, give everything a mix, put the lid on and select "Pressure" mode on high for 10 minutes followed by a natural pressure release.

      I'm not that great a cook, so when saffron, cardamon and pistachios don't have amounts, this is not a recipe I can cook. Sounds like it might be a recipe I would like.

        Hi Terry,

        Thanks for bringing it to my notice. I have updated the amounts. It is mainly for garnishing, you can also adjust as per your liking or omit any of it.

        Hope this helps.

        Regards
        Alpa
