Vermicelli Milk Pudding

Shemai is a traditional dessert in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, made with roasted vermicelli noodles, spiced milk, and sugar. It’s often garnished with nuts and has a unique flavour and aroma from spices like saffron, bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise. Shemai is particularly special in Bangladeshi culture because it’s a popular item during both Hindu and Islamic festivals, such as Eid, but it is also enjoyed throughout the year at family gatherings and special occasions.
