Banshi Wheat Vermicelli Explained

Banshi vermicelli roasts evenly and cooks close to what a generic sevai or kheer recipe already assumes, which is why it is the easiest of the three to start with if you have not cooked wheat vermicelli before.

What to expect

Medium hardness makes Banshi vermicelli the most forgiving of the three, cooking close to what a generic sevai recipe already assumes.
Works equally well in a savoury upma style sevai and a softer sweet kheer.
Roasts predictably and evenly, without the extra attention Kathiya vermicelli sometimes needs.
A sensible everyday choice if you would rather stock one vermicelli variety than rotate between all three.
Softens a touch more readily than Kathiya vermicelli does, closer to the texture most kheer recipes already assume without adjustment.
