Sevian Di Kheer
(Vermicelli Pudding)
Sanjiv Singh
Recipe from Dalbir Chadda. This has been my all time favorite dessert. Ever
since I was very little, I can remember asking for seconds and thirds. What
makes this dessert unusual is that it is not as sweet as most Indian desserts
and is fairly simple to make. Make sure that the vermicelli is very fine. The
very fine vermicelli that can be bought at Chinese stores is the ok but it is
best made with "sevian" that you can buy at an Indian store.
Serves 6.
Melt butter in a large heavy bottomed pot. If you use a light pot, the milk will likely burn at the bottom.
Over low heat stir vermicelli into butter until it turns lightly brown.
Pour in the milk and stir over medium heat until the milk boils. Put in the raisins, almonds and sugar.
Continue to cook under low heat for 10 minutes. Add whipping cream and
continue to cook for a couple of minutes. Serve hot or chill in fridge for an hour before serving.
