Fit to serve a King, this traditional, rich and aromatic Indian dessert is cooked and served to family, friends and guests on many auspicious occasions. As you slowly and patiently cook the Elaichi, Kesar and Sevai along with the milk your patience is bound to be rewarded with the sweet and creamy Sevai Kheer.    

Ingredients:

1/5 brown sevai pack (Vermicelli)

1 tsp ghee or oil

1 ltr milk

sugar

½ elaichi ke daane

Almonds

Cashews (optional)

Pistachios (optional)

kesar (mix with milk)

Method:

Sauté sevai in ghee/oil. Cook for 2 mins. Add milk. Stir continuously and cook till milk reduces to ¾ quantity. Add sugar. Cook for some more time till you get the desired consistency. Add kesar, elaichi & dry fruits. Cook for another 2-5 mins. Serve hot or cold.

And some more.....

The more you cook, the creamier it becomes. So be patient and cook for a longer time over a low flame!

The crunchiness of the nuts and the nutty flavour can be enhanced by adding roasted almonds, cashews and pistachios. Add nuts liberally, it can change the taste of your kheer.

Add sugar according to taste. Replace sugar with artificial sweetners for diabetics.
