CuisineIndian

Traditional meethi seviyan roasted in desi ghee with brown sugar, cardamom, and nuts — a comforting Indian dessert for festivals and Sunday breakfasts.

Ingredients

Main

  • 1½ cups seviyan (vermicelli)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp green cardamom powder
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds and cashews
  • 5 tbsp desi ghee

Instructions

  1. Roast nuts and seviyan. In a pan, melt 3 tbsp ghee and roast nuts; set aside. Add remaining ghee, roast seviyan until golden.
  2. Cook sweet. Add sugar, cardamom, and a little water. Cook covered on low until soft. Garnish with nuts.

Pro tip: Keep the flame low after adding sugar so the seviyan steams tender without burning.

The Story Behind This Dish

Ghee-roasted seviyan has been a home-kitchen festival sweet for generations — simple pantry ingredients transformed into something special for Diwali and family gatherings.
