Steps In Making
- In a pan add ghee and once it melts add the vermicelli.
- Roast the vermicelli on medium flame for around 2 minutes or until it turns golden brown in colour and releases an aromatic smell.
- In another pan add milk and bring it to a boil.
- Now add saffron strands and cardamom powder.
- Add the roasted vermicelli in the milk and cook for around 7-8 minutes or until the vermicelli is cooked. It will double in size.
- Add sugar, almonds, cashews and cook till the suga dissolves completely.
- Now in a small bowl add custard powder and cold milk and mix till it forms smooth.
- Add the custard mixture in the milk and cook for another 2-3 minutes. It will start to thicken. Do not over cook. Now let it cool down completely.
- To assemble in a glass add 2 tablespoons of pomegranate and banana. Now pour 2 spoonful of the vermicelli custard followed by chopped apples and pomegranate. Put another layer of custard vermicili.
- Garnish with almonds and pomegranate.
Recipe Notes
- Don’t overcook the seviyan kheer as it thickens after cooling.
- You can dry roast the vermicelli without ghee. I prefer adding ghee as it gives a nice flavour.
- Always roast vermicelli on medium flame and keep stirring it continuously, else it may burn.
- Do not over cook, as it will become thick after cooling.
- You can use any fruits of your choice.
