Seviyaan Kheer

This has to be one of my most favourite Indian desserts. I remember visiting my parents during the holidays and my mum would already have packets of vermicelli ready at home to make kheer at least twice a week!

Kheer can be made with a lot of things like rice, makhani, carrot, badam, lauki and so many more. But for me, seviyaan aka vermicelli is the real deal. Most popularly prepared for special occasions and festivals this delicacy is also called sevai kheer, semiya kheer or seviyan payasam in the South. It is an amazing combination of vermicelli and milk and gets ready in under 15 minutes.

And now that mangoes are in season, toss in some chopped mangoes, nuts and enjoy!

So let's get started!

1. For this recipe, you will need :

2. In a pan, add milk and let it come to a boil.

3. While the milk comes to a boil, take another pan and add ghee.

4. Add the vermicelli and roast.

7. Add condensed milk and mix well.

8. Once the condensed milk is mixed well, add it in the vermicelli.

9. Let the vermicelli cook in the milk. Keep stirring continuously.

10. After 5 to 10 minutes, check if the vermicelli is cooked and are easily seperated from each other.
