Pro Nature 100% Organic Atta Vermicelli comes in a plastic transparent pouch pack. The price of a 180 gm pack is Rs. 40/-. Visually, this vermicelli has a brownish color. They are not pre-roasted.

Method Of Preparation: Vermicelli is a popular ingredient used in multiple ways in Indian kitchens. Some of the common dishes where vermicelli is the star ingredient are – upma, pulao, seviyan, and kheer. We cooked a sweet dish (kheer) using this atta vermicelli. Our steps are as follows : 

• Firstly, we roasted about 50 gm of vermicelli in a tablespoon of ghee. In about 2 minutes, the vermicelli had acquired a beautiful golden brown color. On the other side, we boiled about 1 liter of toned milk. 
• Next, we mixed the vermicelli with the boiling milk and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
• Once they appeared to be cooked, we added 2 tbsp of sugar. We then cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to let the sugar dissolve. 
• Lastly, for additional flavor, we added a dash of cardamom powder. 

Our Experience: Taste-wise, it has a nutty and distinct earthy flavor. The vermicelli absorbs all the flavors well. 

In terms of the texture, the vermicelli retains its signature bite. The strands do not turn squidgy or sticky. These are thin strands. Once the kheer was kept aside, the vermicelli did not keep absorbing the milk. It was evident looking at the consistency of the milk. Thumbs up for this! It retains its shape and does not get soggy over time. Quite impressive!
