Semiya – Vermicelli Kheer is a sweet creamy aromatic Indian dish.  What I love about this dish is that it is really easy to put together and suits those sweet hunger pangs.

Blanched almonds and pistachio nuts, I purchase from a nifty Asian outlet in Hayes.  It has an online presence too which can be found here – I love it because it is reasonably priced and tends to be good quality stuff which I use.
