Gets ready under 15 minutes, this vermicelli pudding is so easy to make with minimal ingredients and usually prepared on special occasions and festivals.

This is the dry version of seviyan wherein vermicelli is cooked in water till soft. However this recipe can also be made with milk and called seviyan kheer and is made during Ramadan.

Thoroughly enjoyed in India and Pakistan, this dry version of vermicelli is commonly made during Eid-ul-fitre, a popular religious festival of Muslim community.

Although you are not bound to make it just on the said occasions but this delicious dessert has no day to cherish. Just enjoy it any time, either it be some good news in the family or some guests have arrived all of sudden or you are craving for something sweet.

INGREDIENTS USED IN MAKING METHI SEVIYAN

VERMICELLI – Two types of vermicelli is available in the market. One small but slightly thick and the other one is very thin, almost like hair noodles.

In the given recipe, we have used small and thick one. You can use very thin vermicelli also but that needs less water and less cooking.

DESI GHEE – Desi ghee makes this dessert so rich and flavourful.

SUGAR – white granulated sugar or brown sugar, you can add any.

WATER – Add water only when it boiling hot. In place of water, you can add boiling milk also.

GREEN CARDAMOMS – cardamoms gives a wonderful flavour to Indian sweets.

NUTS – we have used Almonds, cashews, raisins and pistachios. These can be added unroasted but roasted one take the taste of dessert to another level.

FOOD COLOUR – This is optional just to give vibrant colour to the recipe. In place of food colour, you can add saffron.

CAN SEVIYAN BE MADE VEGAN?

Replace desi ghee with coconut oil to make vegan seviyan.

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF METHI SEVIYAN

Take a pan and add desi ghee and nuts in it. Roast them on low heat until slightly brown. Take them out in a plate and keep aside.
In the same pan having ghee, add vermicelli and roast until brown. Keep stirring continuously and only on low heat otherwise it may burn.
When vermicelli gets roasted, add boiling water and cardamoms. Mix.
Put a lid on the pan and let vermicelli cook on moderate heat for 8-10 minutes.
When most of the water evaporated and vermicelli turns soft, add sugar and mix.
Lastly add pinch of orange food colour and dry fruits (save some for garnish). Mix well.

Methi Seviyan are ready. Serve hot or at room temperature.

NOTES

Cook everything on low heat otherwise ingredients tend to burn very fast.
Add only boiling water. Cold water may turn vermicelli mushy.
Already roasted vermicelli is also sold in market. If you are using that one, skip the roasting part of vermicelli.
