Meethi seviyan is a popular sweet dish served in India. It is made with vermicelli, nuts and sugar and turns out to be a perfect option for the festive cravings. Seviyan is mostly made during Eid and even during diwali. It is usually served as a sweet dish but on some days we simply love to have them as an evening snack. You can prepare them with water or milk as per your choice but I have used water to prepare this yummy recipe. This seviyan can be made instantly without any efforts and tastes bliss.
In order to make this yummy seviyan recipe all you need to do is to toss some seviyan in desi ghee until they turn golden brown. Sugar and water is added in it and covered and cooked on low flame until seviyan puffs up. They are then garnished with nuts of choice. For the aroma I prefer using some cardamom seeds in it and for the colour I have used some artificial food colour. You can skip using addition food colour if you want.
