Vermicelli Kheer
Semiya has always been my favourite dessert. Sometimes my mom used to make it specially on Raksha bandhan, it was a staple. Although she used a lot of ghee and dry fruits, I have just tried to keep it simple and guilt free. Its always better to have something to cool down your hunger and cravings rather than suppress it inside. Lets see, if this accomplishes your cravings too :)
