Tips for mango vermicelli kheer:

You can serve this kheer at room temperature or chilled.
You can also use the same way to make mango rice kheer.
There is no need to add cardamom/ cinnamon etc for added flavour. But you can add if you like.
We want mango to give the prominent flavour, so no other spice has been added.
Always add the sugar at the end when vermicelli/ rice is cooked and rice has reduced. If you add sugar earlier, it will take way longer to cook.
Make sure that the mango that you use is not at all sour, else the kheer may spilt.
