Servings4 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 liter full cream milk
- ¼ cup semiya
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- To a pan add ¼ cup vermicelli and roast until golden. Switch off, remove and set aside. Even if the pack says it is roasted I would suggest to roast it for a while for more flavor and non-sticky semiya.
- Boil 1 liter milk in a pot give a quick mix and simmer for 2 minutes. Use full cream milk for best results.
- Add roasted vermicelli to milk.
- Give a quick mix and cook until vermicelli turns soft.
- Just press to check it should be soft and not too mushy.
- Add ¾ cup sugar to it. Add sugar only after vermicelli is completely cooked.
- Mix it well and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder.
- Mix it well and cook until slightly thick and creamy. Switch off and remove from flame.

Notes
- Don't have popsicle mould?! dont worry I have you covered - Use disposable plastic cups or even small steel tumblers pour the semiya mixture cling wrap using aluminium foil and insert ice cream sticks and freeze it.
- If you don't have ice cream sticks you can serve it like ice cream and eat it with spoon too.
- There can be many variations to this semiya paal ice, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla essence to get vanilla flavor or crush few saffron strands and add it. You can even add rose milk essence.
- Make sure to cool down the semiya mixture completely before adding it to the mold.
- Freezing for at least 8 hrs is required.
- For easy demolding - show the popsicle moulds in warm water, then pull the stick out slowly to get the ice pops clean.
- Fill in popsicle mold only till ¾th as while freezing the popsicles might expand.
- Do not add sugar before vermicelli gets cooked.
