Hyderabadi Seviyan ka Meetha

Seviyan Ka Meetha is another lip-smacking Hyderabadi Dessert with fine Vermicelli as the main ingredient. A drier version of Sheer Qurma, the delectable traditional sweet dish without which no Eid is complete for Hyderabadis.

Ingredients:

Ghee – 1/2 tsp Dry fruits and Nuts:- Almonds, Pistachios, Raisins & Dates (Khajoor) – about 1/3 cup Fine Vermicelli (Seviyan )– 200 gms Water – 2 cups Cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp Granulated Sugar – 1 cup (add more 1/4 cup if you have a sweet tooth)

Method:

1. Gently crush the Seviyan into pieces about 2 inch long (that is not too fine) with your hands while still in the packaging. 2. Take a wide saucepan heat it on medium flame, add Ghee, Dry Fruits and Nuts. Fry them all together for a minute and remove into a cup. Keep aside.

3. In the remaining Ghee, add the crushed Seviyan and roast it while stirring continuously until the Seviyan turns into golden brown.

Now add the Water and let it cook for 2-4 minutes. As the Seviyan absorb the water, add the Sugar. Once sugar melts, then add Cardamom Powder, fried dry fruits and nuts and mix the Seviyan gently. Cook for 2-4 minutes and remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. Serve it hot/ cold
