Paigambari Wheat Vermicelli Explained

What to expect

• Carries through the same aroma that defines Paigambari flour, daliya and pasta, most noticeable in a plain roasted vermicelli before milk or spice is added.
• Best in simple preparations, a lightly sweetened kheer or plain sevai, where the wheat's own flavour is the point.
• Sits closer to Banshi than Kathiya on hardness, so roasting and liquid needs stay close to a standard vermicelli recipe.
• Buy in smaller quantities if aroma is your reason for choosing it, since it fades with storage time.
• A light hand with sugar in the kheer lets the wheat's own aroma come through rather than being buried under sweetness.
