• Optional: you could grease the plate with tsp of ghee, and spread  the kesari, when it cools down, cut into desired shapes and serve.
• Water level varies depending upon the types of vermicilli.
• Adding food color is optional.In traditional method we won't add food colour. Sugar with semiya itself , gives good texture.
