Making Vermicelli Kheer

1. Reduce the flame to its lowest and slowly pour Dano Power / Dano Growth Shakti milk in the pan. mix very well.
2. Simmer Dano Power / Dano Growth Shakti milk on a low to medium-low flame. Stir occasionally so that the Dano Power / Dano Growth Shakti milk or seviyan does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
3. Let the Dano Power / Dano Growth Shakti milk come to a boil. Once the Dano Power / Dano Growth Shakti milk comes to a boil, then add 7 to 8 tablespoons of sugar or as per taste. 
4. Mix very well so that all the sugar dissolves.
