Step-by-Step Recipe 

This recipe is simple and beginner-friendly. Following each step carefully will help you achieve a creamy, smooth, and delicious dessert. The combination of mango, custard, and vermicelli creates a refreshing treat that everyone will love. 

Step 1: Roast and Cook the Vermicelli 

Start by heating a heavy-bottom pan over medium flame. Add Anil Shortcut Vermicelli and roast it for two to three minutes until it turns slightly golden. Roasting enhances the flavor and prevents the vermicelli from becoming sticky during cooking.

Next, add water and cook the vermicelli until soft. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcooking because mushy vermicelli can spoil the texture of the dessert. Once cooked, drain any excess water and keep it aside. 

Step 2: Prepare the Custard Mixture 

Take a small bowl and add custard powder along with a few tablespoons of cold milk. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until there are no clumps. This step is important because clumps can affect the smooth consistency of the dessert.

Using cold milk helps the custard powder dissolve evenly. As a result, the final mixture becomes silky and creamy. Keep this mixture ready before boiling the milk. 

Step 3: Boil Milk and Add Sugar

Pour the remaining milk into a heavy-bottom saucepan and heat it over medium flame. Add sugar and stir continuously until it dissolves completely. Once the milk begins to boil gently, slowly pour in the custard mixture while stirring constantly.

Continuous stirring prevents lumps from forming and helps achieve a smooth texture. Cook the mixture for several minutes until it thickens slightly. The consistency should be creamy and not overly thick because it will become thicker after refrigeration.  

Step 4: Add Cooked Vermicelli 

After the custard reaches the desired consistency, add the cooked vermicelli. Stir gently so that the vermicelli mixes evenly throughout the custard. The soft strands absorb the creamy mixture and add a wonderful texture to the dessert.

Allow the mixture to cool completely before adding the mango pulp. This step is very important because hot custard can cause the mangoes to curdle and alter the taste.

Step 5: Add Mango Pulp 

Once the custard reaches room temperature, add the fresh mango pulp. Mix gently until the mango puree blends completely with the custard and vermicelli. This creates a beautiful golden color and a rich tropical flavor.

You can also add a pinch of cardamom powder or a few saffron strands for additional aroma. At this stage, the dessert becomes creamy, smooth, and incredibly fragrant. 

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Transfer the prepared mango custard into serving bowls or dessert glasses. Cover them and refrigerate for two to three hours. Chilling allows the flavors to combine beautifully and improves the overall taste.

Before serving, garnish with fresh mango cubes, chopped nuts, raisins, and saffron strands. Serve the dessert cold for the most refreshing experience. It makes a perfect treat for summer afternoons, family dinners, and festive occasions.
