Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Boil Milk with Cardamom

   Pour 1 liter of milk into a pot and place it on medium heat. Add 3-4 green cardamom pods, slightly opened, to the milk. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom. Let the milk come to a boil and continue to simmer for 5-10 minutes until it slightly thickens, but do not reduce it by half.

2. 2.Add Dry Fruits and Sugar

   Once the milk has slightly thickened, add the mixed dry fruits (sliced almonds, cashews, and raisins) to the pot. Then, add 8 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well until the sugar completely dissolves in the milk, which should take about 5 minutes.

3. 3.Incorporate Vermicelli

   Add 5 tablespoons of roasted vermicelli (seviyan) to the milk mixture. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to ensure the vermicelli mixes well and doesn't form lumps. The vermicelli will cook quickly.

4. 4.Rest and Thicken

   After stirring the vermicelli for 2 minutes, turn off the heat. Cover the pot with a lid and let the kheer rest for 10 minutes. During this time, the vermicelli will absorb more milk and the kheer will thicken to a perfect creamy consistency without becoming too dense.

5. 5.Serve

   Uncover the pot. The Seviyan Kheer is now ready. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional dry fruits if desired. Enjoy this delicious dessert as part of your festive meals or as a sweet treat.
