Meethi Seviyan

Meethi Seviyan / Sweet Vermicelli Pudding / Sheer Khurma

Meethi Seviyan or Sweet Vermicelli is a sweet dessert made with vermicelli, ghee, sugar, dry fruits, and cardamom. A perfect one-pot sweet dessert that can be made in just 15 - 20 minutes. This is my favorite recipe of Meethi Seviyan that I have learned from my mother. On this auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan sharing it with my extended family on Social Media. 

May this festival bring peace, happiness, and success for today and always.
