Seviyan Kheer (Vermicelli Kheer)

Seviyan Kheer is one of the traditional Indian sweet dishes that are very popular all over. It is the most demanded dish in festivals like Diwali, eid, and Raksha Bandhan. Here the main ingredients are Vermicelli which is cooked in milk with lots of dry fruits of your choice. Seviyan Kheer can also be made dry without adding any milk which is also very delicious.

The whole procedure is the same but just the milk is missing. Here I have used a special ingredient that most of you haven’t tried yet which is clove. The aroma of cloves makes this dish even more delicious and aromatic.

Tip: If you like seviyan chilled then you must keep the milk level a bit higher than the usual as by keeping it in a refrigerator will thicken the milk and your seviyan might be dry, so if you want to enjoy milky seviyan then add one cup more while cooking.

3. Keep stirring until the sugar is dissolves properly and the mixture thickens a bit. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes. The milk will thicken more and the vermicelli will be soft.
