Seviyan Kheer Ingredients
- Vermicelli – I have used roasted vermicelli but make sure to roast it for a few seconds at least even if it is roasted.
- Milk – Use fresh full cream milk. If you do not have access to fresh milk, even toned milk would do.
- Sugar – I have used regular granulated white sugar. You can alternate sugar with jaggery powder, jaggery syrup, cane sugar and make sure to increase the quantity accordingly.
- Ghee - Ghee is used for roasting nuts and dry fruits.
- Nuts, Dry fruits - I have used cashews, almonds, pistachios and raisins.
- Flavoring - Cardamom powder and saffron is used here.

Very nice & tasty look... from the pic itself I can feel the taste. From the name I thought first its some non-veg item, but the picture made me to look into the recipe, very attractive way your photos and the Font style ... Arabic alphabets style.... U are very creative Sharmi. Sure will make and let you know the result. Whether we need to boil the milk before adding to Semiya? How to make Home made condensed milk? Please clear my doubts.
