Vermicelli Pudding, also known as Seviyan Kheer, is a popular dessert in the Indian subcontinent and other parts of Asia. It is usually served during special occasions or festivals, but can be enjoyed all year round. The pudding is made with vermicelli pasta, milk, sugar, and cardamom seeds, and is spiced with raisins for added sweetness. It is similar to rice pudding in texture and taste, but has a unique flavor and aroma from the cardamom.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
2.	Add in the sugar and cardamom seeds and stir until dissolved.
3.	Add the vermicelli pasta and raisins and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pudding thickens and the vermicelli is fully cooked, about 30 minutes.
4.	Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
