Seviyan kheer /Sweet Vermicelli recipe

Sevaiyan / Sweet Vermicelli 

Hi,

Today, I am going to give an easy yet delicious recipe of Seviyan or sweet vermicelli recipe. Most people use condensed milk and prefer roasting vermicelli in ghee (clarified butter). But, I am avoiding these ingredients in my attempt to keep the calories low without compromising its taste. Off course kheer is not a diet food or supposed to be calorie-free 😂. Consider my recipe as low-calorie version of our regular seviyan. This is very much an indian recipe. I am not using any processed or ready to use stuff. 

Ingredients

1. Roasted thin vermicelli* 1Cup 

2. Milk  4 Cup

3. Sugar (optional) 1 Tablespoon

4. Dry fruits - Almonds, cashew or raisins (optional)

5. Cardamon (optional)

*try buying roasted vermicelli so that you do not need to roast it in ghee

Steps

1. Boil milk in a pan on high flame and once it boils (milk rises to the rim of the pan), lower the      flame. Let the water evaporate. Meanwhile, you can keep other ingredients ready or just sit and relax.

2. When you see the milk is thickening, add sugar. Sugar can be added as per your taste, I just find 1 tablespoon sweet enough. Note that milk (1 Cup) itself has ~ 13g natural sugar and we are using 4 cups. As the water evaporates,  milk will be further sweetened. To make typical sweet seviyan, add more sugar.

3. Add vermicelli (seviyan) and stir well. Let it cook in condensed milk.

4. If you want the seviyan to be thinner add more milk and let it cook.

5. Add dry fruits and cardamon.

5. Cook for around 5-7 minutes at low flame.

Once seviyan is cooked, keep it in refrigerator to cool.
