Instructions
Instant Pot Method
- Start the instant pot in SAUTE mode and heat ghee in it.
- Add the nuts and saute for 30 seconds. Then add raisins and saute for another 30 seconds. Then add roasted vermicelli and saute for a minute.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients - water, cardamom, sugar and saffron. Press CANCEL and close the instant pot lid with vent in sealing position.
- Press MANUAL or pressure cook mode and set it for 1 minute at high pressure.
- When the instant pot beeps, do 5 minute natural pressure release, which means release pressure 5 minutes after the instant pot beeps.

Stovetop Method
- Heat ghee in a heavy bottom pan on medium heat.
- Add the nuts and saute for 30 seconds. Then add raisins and saute for another 30 seconds. Then add roasted vermicelli and saute for a minute.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients - water, cardamom, sugar and saffron.
- Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently. The seviyan will absorb the water in about 6-8 minutes.

Notes
- Vermicelli: If you don’t have roasted vermicelli, you can roast it right in your instant pot. When you add ghee, add the vermicelli and roast it for about 3-4 minutes and then add the nuts.
- Water or Milk: I made these Sweet Seviyan with water, but you can also use 1/2 milk and 1/2 water.
- Cardamom: It is recommended to buy whole cardamom pods and grind them at home to make a powder.
