Shviyan Kheer (Seviyan Kheer) Recipe

🕒 Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

🍽 Serves: 3–4

🧂 Ingredients:

1 cup vermicelli (seviyan/shviyan) – preferably roasted

4 cups full-fat milk

1/3 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)

1/4 tsp cardamom powder (elaichi)

10-12 cashews

10-12 almonds (sliced)

10-15 raisins

A few saffron strands (optional)

2 tbsp chopped pistachios (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Roast the Vermicelli (if not already roasted):

Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan.

Add vermicelli and roast on low-medium heat until golden brown.

Remove and keep aside.

2. Fry the Dry Fruits:

In the same pan, add remaining 1 tbsp ghee.

Fry cashews, almonds, and raisins until golden. Set aside.

3. Boil the Milk:

In a deep saucepan, bring milk to a boil.

Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Cook the Vermicelli:

Add roasted vermicelli to the simmering milk.

Cook on medium heat until soft (around 8–10 minutes), stirring to avoid sticking.

5. Sweeten and Flavor:

Add sugar and stir until it dissolves.

Mix in cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using).

Let it simmer for another 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Garnish and Serve:

Add the fried dry fruits and chopped pistachios.

Serve hot or chilled as per preference.

💡 Tips:

Adjust thickness by adding more milk if needed.

For a richer taste, replace part of the milk with condensed milk (reduce sugar accordingly).

Chilling the kheer thickens it further, so loosen with a little w

arm milk before serving if needed.
