Vermicelli Kheer

We both love milk-based desserts with Indian touch. When I was talking to my mom, she reminded me about the last day of અષાઢ, which is called દિવાસો and we make kheer-puri this day. I was thinking to make kheer with rice but HE demanded kheer with vermicelli. I did not make this for long time and I wanted to measure everything to make it perfect.
