Sevaiyan Kheer (Vermicelli And Milk Pudding) is a delicious dessert. This kheer or payasum is a traditional and a very popular sweet that is easy to make. It is a very simple recipe requiring few ingredients. You just need milk, sugar, vermicelli and nuts. I like to flavor the kheer with cardamom powder and saffron. You can use rose water or kewra water also.
Known as sevaiyan, semiya or seviya it resembles spaghetti but the taste and prepration is totally different.
