    It is common to make this seviyan kheer on festivals in India, similar to Sheer Khurma. This is also a great addition to gatherings or potlucks you might attend during festivals. You will love the ease of making this kheer in the instant pot.

    As I mentioned in my Rice Kheer recipe, making kheer in the instant pot is a game changer. The best thing about making kheer in the ip, no stirring and it is ready in less than 30 mins! Traditionally making kheer meant keeping milk and rice on the stove for a long time and stirring it frequently until the milk thickens and becomes creamy. With the Porridge setting in instant pot, the same thing happens, but you just dump all the ingredients and go your happy way to enjoy yourself. Come back to perfectly creamy and delicious seviyan kheer.

    How to make Vermicelli Kheer in Instant Pot?

    Some of you may be new to vermicelli, so I want to share a picture of what it looks like.  They are like thin spaghetti or like noodles, but have a different texture than both.  I use the thick vermicelli for this recipe.  I always keep these in my pantry (similar to pasta), they cook so quickly and are perfect for busy times.

    Oh..and I prefer to buy roasted vermicelli, so I don’t have to spend any extra minutes roasting it.  It is all about quick and delicious cooking.  Isn’t it?

    Seviyan Vermicelli Semiya

    This vermicelli pudding is super easy with just adding all ingredients to the instant pot and setting it on porridge mode. The instant pot does it’s magic and perfect aromatic kheer is ready for you in less than mins. If you have not tried this in instant pot yet, you just have to!

    Instructions
     

    • Add everything in the instant pot. Close lid with vent in sealing position. (see notes to sanitize the pot) 
    • Set instant pot to PORRIDGE mode for 10 minutes. When instant pot beeps, let the pressure release naturally. (If you do not plan to serve this right after cooking, then cook 6 minutes on PORRIDGE mode)
    • Open Instant Pot and mix well. Vermicelli Kheer is ready. Serve warm or chilled.
    • If needed, to get the desired consistency, cook on SAUTE mode for 2-3 mins. Or add more milk, mix and let it boil for a minute.

    Notes

    Important: Sanitize the instant pot thoroughly - the steel insert, lid and sealing ring. If you have an extra sealing ring for sweet foods, use it. 
    Sugar Substitue: Although I have not tried myself, some readers have suggested that if using jaggery in place of sugar, then add it after cooking on porridge setting (else the milk can curdle). 
    Roasted Nuts: If you don't have already roasted nuts. Add 1 tbsp of ghee in the instant pot and saute the nuts for about a minute. Then follow the recipe. 
    Roasted Vermicelli: If you don’t have roasted vermicelli, you can roast it right in your instant pot.  Add a tbsp of ghee, add the vermicelli and roast it for about 3-4 minutes till they become golden brown and then add the other ingredients.
    Consistency: When you refrigerate kheer, it will thicken. You can reheat it with additional milk to get the consistency you like. 
    Caution: This recipe was created in a 6qt Instant Pot DUO60 Multi-use Pressure Cooker. I do not recommend making this in a 3qt or doubling the recipe in a 6qt, as the milk boils and can come out. 
    Stovetop variation: Add milk and roasted seviyan in a heavy bottom or non-stick pan. Let the milk boil, the reduce flame and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure milk does not burn at the bottom. Add the remaining ingredients, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Seviyan Kheer will now be thicker in texture, and ready to serve.

      This recipe is just perfect. Delicious kheer with the right amount of milk and nice, plump seviyaan. The best part is that it is a dump and go recipe, needs zero babysitting! Thanks Meeta.

        I usually make 1x the amount in the recipe, as we are using milk that can sometimes boil and come out. However, if you want to make 3x, I would suggest cooking 1.5x two times. That way you can save some time. Hope you enjoy the kheer!

        Hi Kalpana - We discussed over email. But I wanted to add the response here as well. You can make seviyan kheer the day before. However, it might get a little thick as it soaks up all the liquid. So you can heat some milk on the day and add to get them to the right consistency.
