Kolson Colored Vermicelli

£1.29

Prices checked

Kolson Colored Vermicelli is best known for its role in falooda, a chilled dessert drink layered with milk, jelly and syrup. It is a pasta product made up of thin vermicelli strands, dyed in bright colours rather than left plain. The colours make it a popular choice for sweet dishes rather than savoury ones. Home cooks use it in vermicelli kheer, stirring the strands into simmered milk until soft, and in sheer khurma, where it is cooked with milk and set aside to cool before serving. The bright strands also work well as a finishing layer on top of milky desserts, giving each bowl a mix of colours once served. To prepare it, add the vermicelli to milk or water and simmer gently until the strands soften, keeping an eye on the pan as thin vermicelli cooks quickly. Once cooked, it can be left to cool for chilled desserts like falooda or served warm as part of a kheer. Store the packet in a cool, dry place away from moisture, and reseal it tightly after opening to keep the strands from becoming brittle or absorbing damp. Use within a reasonable time once opened for the best texture when cooking.
