1. Don't burn the vermicelli while roasting, it will spoil the whole taste of kesari.2. Water ratio varies, depends on the thickness of vermicelli. I used thin vermicelli and the water ratio is 1:1.5
3. For thick vermicelli water ratio is 1:2.
4. Semiya Kesari doesn't require more ghee like Rava kesari.
5. Always add sugar once the vermicelli is cooked or else the kesari will turn chewy.
