Vermicelli Kesari (Semiya Kesari) Recipe

A quick and delicious Indian dessert made with roasted vermicelli, ghee, sugar and nuts. Vermicelli Kesari, also known as Semiya Kesari, is a sweet South Indian dessert made with vermicelli (semiya) instead of the traditional rava (semolina). It’s similar in texture to kesari bath but has a unique bite and appeal due to the thin strands of vermicelli. This dessert is quick to make and perfect for festive occasions or sudden sweet cravings.

Prep & Cook Time:-

* Prep time: 5 minutes

* Cook time: 15–20 minutes

* Total time: 20–25 minutes

 Ingredients :-

* Vermicelli (semiya) - 1 cup

* Sugar - ¾ to 1 cup (adjust to taste)

* Water - 2 to 2½ cups

* Ghee (clarified butter) -3 to 4 tbsp

* Cashews - 8–10

* Raisins - 10–12

* Cardamom powder - ¼ tsp

* Orange Food colour (optional) 

 Step-by-Step Recipe :-

Step 1: Roast the Vermicelli

* Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a pan.

* Add 1 cup of vermicelli and roast on medium heat until golden brown and aromatic.

* If using pre-roasted vermicelli, roast lightly for better flavor.

* Remove and keep aside.

Step 2: Fry Cashews & Raisins :-

* In the same pan, add 1 tbsp ghee.

* Fry cashews until golden.

* Add raisins and fry until they puff up.

* Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Vermicelli :-

* Add 2 to 2½ cups of water to the pan and bring it to a boil.

* Add a pinch of food color (if using). 

* Once boiling, add the roasted vermicelli.

* Cook on medium heat until the vermicelli turns soft and the water is absorbed.

Step 4: Add Sugar :-

* Reduce heat to low and add ¾ to 1 cup sugar.

* Mix well – the mixture will loosen as the sugar melts.

* Stir continuously and cook until it thickens again.

Step 5: Add Ghee & Flavorings :-

* Add 1–2 tbsp of ghee gradually while stirring.

* Add cardamom powder and the fried cashews & raisins.

* Mix well until the kesari leaves the sides of the pan and looks glossy.


 Tips for Perfect Vermicelli Kesari:-

* Roast well: Roasting vermicelli in ghee enhances flavor and prevents it from becoming mushy.

* Sugar to vermicelli ratio: You can adjust sugar to your sweetness preference, but a 1:1 ratio gives traditional results.

* Don’t overcook: Once sugar is added, don’t overcook or it may turn hard after cooling.

* Ghee adds richness: Don’t skip ghee – it adds shine, texture, and flavor.


 Serving Suggestions :-

* Serve warm or at room temperature.

* Pairs well with South Indian meals or can be enjoyed as a standalone dessert.

ENJOY!!!!
