Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 cup vermicelli - broken, (seviyan)
  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup sugar or add as per taste
  • ½ teaspoon green cardamom powder
  • ¼ cup milk powder - optional, *check point no 1 in notes
  • 10 to 12 raisins - seedless
  • 4 to 5 almonds - sliced thinly
  • 4 to 5 pistachios - sliced thinly
  • 4 to 5 cashews - sliced thinly

Instructions

Preparation
    Cup of Yum
  1. Firstly keep all the ingredients ready for making meethi seviyan. Break the seviyan into smaller strands and set aside.
  2. Chop the nuts and set them aside.
Making Meethi Seviyan
  1. Heat a pan and then add the ghee.
  2. Let the ghee melt and then add the broken seviyan.
  3. On a low to medium heat, with frequent stirrings roast the seviyan until they become golden. Since I used pre roasted seviyan, I didn't have to roast the seviyan much. However, if you use seviyan which is not roasted, then you will need to roast for some more time.
  4. Add all the chopped nuts and raisins. Stir them nicely.
  5. Lower the heat and pour the milk. Instead of milk you can also add water or a plant based milk.
  6. Keep in mind that the proportion of milk to be added will depend on the type, quality and texture of seviyan you have used. Thus you may need to add less or more milk, so that you get a dry mixture after cooking. Do check the package instructions for the amount of milk or water you need to add for 1 cup of vermicelli.
  7. Stir and mix very well. Then continue to stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Now add sugar. Keep stirring the mixture.
  9. Add milk powder. If you do not have milk powder, then just skip it. Mix again.
  10. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and stir well.
  11. The mixture will start thickening and the seviyan will also begin to absorb milk. When all the milk has been absorbed, turn off the heat.
  12. Serve Meethi Seviyan hot or warm or chilled. You can even garnish with some sliced nuts while serving.

Notes

  • Milk powder is sweet, hence I have added ¼ cup sugar in the recipe. However, if you choose not to add milk powder, consider adding more sugar according to your taste preferences.
  • You could double or triple the recipe if you need more quantity.
  • Allow the seviyan to absorb the milk and become dry. Otherwise it would taste more like kheer.
  • If you like a consistency a bit like seviyan kheer then add more milk.
  • Nuts and dry fruits of your choice can be added. If you like it more, adjust quantities accordingly.
  • Once the milk is absorbed by the seviyan turn off the stovetop otherwise the vermicelli would taste dry.
