Firstly keep all the ingredients ready for making meethi seviyan. Break the seviyan and keep aside.
Chop the dry fruits and place aside.
making meethi seviyan
Heat a pan and then add 1 tbsp ghee.
Let the ghee melt and then add 1 cup of the broken seviyan.
On a low to medium flame, with frequent stirring roast the seviyan till they become golden. Since I used pre roasted seviyan, I didn't have to roast the seviyan much. However, if you use seviyan which is not roasted, then you will need to roast for some more time.
Add all the chopped dry fruits and raisins. Stir them nicely.
Lower the flame and pour 2 cups of milk. Instead of milk you can also add water.
Stir and mix very well. Then continue to stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
Now add ¼ cup of sugar. Keep stirring the mixture.
Add ¼ cup of milk powder. If you do not have milk powder, then just skip it. Mix again
Sprinkle ½ tsp cardamom powder and stir well.
The mixture will start thickening and the seviyan will also begin to absorb milk. When all the milk has been absorbed, switch off the gas.
Serve meethi seviyan hot or warm or chilled. You can even garnish with some sliced dry fruits while serving
Notes
Few tips for making sweet vermicelli
You could double or triple the recipe if you need more quantity.
Allow the seviyan to absorb the milk and become dry. Otherwise it would taste more like kheer.
If you like seviyan kheer then add more milk.
Dry fruits of your choice can be added. If you like it more, adjust quantities accordingly.
Once the milk is absorbed by the seviyan switch off the gas otherwise the vermicelli would taste dry.
