Kheer is one of India’s most loved traditional desserts, enjoyed across regions in different forms. This Sorghum Vermicelli Kheer offers a healthy millet-based variation by replacing refined vermicelli with jowar (sorghum) vermicelli.

Lightly roasted in ghee and simmered in milk, this kheer is creamy, mildly sweet, and beautifully aromatic with cardamom. It’s perfect for festivals, poojas, or as a simple homemade dessert after meals.
