Introduction 

Rasmalai is one of those Indian desserts that instantly feels festive. Soft, creamy and flavoured with cardamom and saffron, it has a special place on the dessert table. 

This recipe gives the classic dessert a creative twist by using Prolicious Millet Vermicelli to make the rasmalai balls. 

The vermicelli is first roasted with ghee and chopped dry fruits until golden and aromatic. It is then cooked with water and sugar, combined with khoya and allowed to rest. The mixture is shaped into small balls and dipped into creamy custard milk flavoured with cardamom and saffron. 

The result is a dessert that looks festive, tastes indulgent and gives a familiar Indian sweet a completely new presentation.

What Makes Prolicious Millet Vermicelli Special? 

Prolicious Millet Vermicelli brings a millet-based twist to everyday vermicelli. 

It can be used in much more than savoury dishes. From breakfast and lunch recipes to festive desserts like this Vermicelli Rasmalai, it is versatile enough to fit into different kinds of recipes. 

Its millet-based formulation also makes it an interesting alternative to conventional vermicelli when you want to add more variety to your meals.

Why This Vermicelli Rasmalai Stands Out 

Traditional rasmalai usually uses chenna or paneer-based dumplings. 

This version takes a completely different route. 

Here, roasted millet vermicelli, dry fruits and khoya come together to create the rasmalai balls, while the creamy custard milk gives them the familiar rasmalai-style finish. 

The combination of: 

Golden vermicelli + dry fruits + khoya + saffron milk = a festive dessert with a delicious twist.

Ingredients You'll Need 

For the Vermicelli Balls 

• 1 cup Prolicious Millet Vermicelli 
• 1–2 tbsp ghee 
• 2–3 tbsp chopped dry fruits 
• ½ cup water 
• Sugar as required 
• 2–3 tbsp khoya 

For the Creamy Milk Mixture 

• 2 cups milk 
• 1–2 tbsp custard powder 
• Sugar as required 
• ½ tsp cardamom powder 
• A few strands of saffron

Step-by-Step Method 

Step 1: Roast the Vermicelli 

Heat a pan and add Prolicious Millet Vermicelli. 

Add ghee and chopped dry fruits. 

Mix everything well and roast until the vermicelli turns golden brown and the dry fruits become aromatic. 

Step 2: Cook the Vermicelli 

Add water and sugar to the roasted vermicelli. 

Mix well and cook until the vermicelli becomes soft and the mixture comes together. 

Step 3: Add Khoya 

Add khoya to the cooked vermicelli. 

Mix everything well until the khoya is evenly incorporated into the mixture. 

Turn off the heat and let the mixture rest for a few minutes so that it becomes easier to handle. 

Step 4: Prepare the Creamy Milk Mixture 

In a bowl, add milk and custard powder. 

Add sugar, cardamom powder and saffron. 

Whisk everything well until the custard powder is properly mixed and there are no lumps. 

Step 5: Make the Vermicelli Balls 

Take portions of the rested vermicelli mixture and gently shape them into small balls. 

Repeat until all the mixture is used. 

Step 6: Assemble the Vermicelli Rasmalai 

Place the vermicelli balls into the creamy milk mixture. 

Let them soak gently so that they absorb the saffron-cardamom flavour of the milk. 

Your Vermicelli Rasmalai is ready to serve!

Tips & Variations

FAQs 

Can I use any vermicelli for this recipe? 

You can, but Prolicious Millet Vermicelli gives this recipe its distinctive millet-based twist and texture.
