Simply Sevaiyan (Vermicilli- kheer, pudding)
Eid Mubarak / Happy Diwali to all!
For Eid, in India everyone makes Sevaiyan for Eid. They all have their own recipes for making it. This is one which is a very simple and basic recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 Sevai packet (fine vermicilli)
6 cups Milk warm,
1 and 1/4 cup Sugar, start by adding 1 cup, taste, add more if required
2 tbsp Ghee (Indian, clarified butter) , if you dont have ghee, you can boil butter and little oil together.
Nuts (almonds, cashews, raisins, etc) whatever you like
In the ghee, fry the sevai and nuts, till its reddish in color (Even if its pre-roasted). Then add the milk (add raisins at this point if you like) and boil till the sevai is soft, if this starts to thicken, then add more hot milk.
Finally add the sugar. Done!
