VERMICELLI PUDDING (seviyan kheer)

March 16, 2020 by Shazia 2 Comments

Seviyan Kheer is a very popular South Asian dessert.  It’s very similar in taste and texture to a pudding.  The flavors are a delicious combination of milk, heavy cream and vermicelli noodles flavored with cardamom and sugar.  With just a few ingredients you will be surprised how quickly this dessert comes together.  Keep in mind this dessert has many variations across the region.

RECIPE  NOTES

vermecilli is a very thin noodle and comes in a variety of rice or wheat. For this dish you will use the regular wheat flour vermicelli.

I used heavy cream in this recipe to give it a nice thick/rich texture. But you could use just milk. If you use fat free version of milk it may not thicken up as much.

Green cardamom is very strong you can add anywhere from 5-7 seeds from the pods. I do like to crush up the seeds.

The thick or thin the consistency for the dessert will be your preference.

I do not add any dry fruits/nuts because my kids will complain. If you would like you can add variety like sliced/chopped almonds, pistachios, raisins, dry coconut or dates. You can toast these in the butter with the vermicelli. Or just use to garnish.
