Vamazelli Recipe

Vermicelli cake, also called vam-a-zelli in Guyanese patois, is a dessert made from vermicelli noodles that have been simmered in milk, flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices or extracts. It is rich in carbohydrates that are essential for energy production in the body. Vermicelli rice noodles are not a good source of protein and are therefore cooked with other ingredients to obtain benefit from it. Vermicelli is commonly used to make kheer (popularly called seviyan kheer) as bhog for many religious occasions. It is creamy, milky and oh-so sweet.
