H; 3: Ingredients:

  • 1 cup vermicelli (seviyan)
  • 1 liter full-cream milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4-5 green cardamom pods (crushed)
  • 1/4 cup almonds (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup pistachios (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2-3 tablespoons desi ghee (clarified butter)
  • A pinch of saffron (optional)
  • 1/4 cup khoya (optional for extra richness)
  • Rose water or kewra essence (a few drops for fragrance)

H; 4: Instructions:

  1. Roast the Seviyan:

    • Heat a pan on medium flame and add 2-3 tablespoons of desi ghee.
    • Once the ghee melts, add the vermicelli (seviyan) and roast it for 3-4 minutes until it turns golden brown. Stir continuously to avoid burning.
    • Set the roasted seviyan aside.
  2. Boil the Milk:

    • In a large pot, pour the full-cream milk and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
    • Add crushed green cardamom pods and a pinch of saffron (if using) for extra flavor.
    • Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Add Sugar and Khoya:

    • Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and add sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
    • If you're using khoya, add it at this stage and mix well to enhance the creaminess of the dessert.
  4. Cook the Seviyan in Milk:

    • Now, add the roasted vermicelli into the boiling milk and let it cook for 7-10 minutes on low heat. Keep stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
    • The seviyan will start absorbing the milk and thicken the mixture. Cook until the desired consistency is achieved.
  5. Add Nuts and Raisins:

    • Stir in the sliced almonds, pistachios, and raisins. Reserve some nuts for garnishing.
  6. Finishing Touches:

    • Add a few drops of rose water or kewra essence to give a delightful aroma to your Milk Seviyan.
    • Remove the pot from heat and let the seviyan rest for a few minutes.
  7. Serve:

    • Garnish with the reserved nuts and serve warm or chilled, as per your preference.

H; 5: Tips for Best Results:
