Seviya Kheer or Khir is one of the easiest desserts and very popular. Simple, sweet and quick to make…hmmm, can’t go wrong with that. A great variation to the Rice Kheer.
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 25 min
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
Seviya/Vermicelli – 1/2 cup
Ghee/Clarified Butter – 1/2 tbsp
Milk – 6 cups
Sugar – 4 tbsp or to taste
Raisins – 1 tbsp
Almonds – 1 tbsp
Elaichi / Cardamom Powder – 1/4 tsp
Saffron – a pinch
Method:
1. Heat the Ghee/Clarified Butter in a pan on medium heat.
2. Roast the Seviya/Vermicelli in the Ghee.
3. Keep stirring till the Seviya changes color to a light golden.
4. Add Milk, mix and cover to allow it to come to a boil.
5. Once it reaches a boil, remove cover and reduce heat.
6. Stir frequently and allow it to reduce and thicken to the required consistency.
7. Add the dry fruits – Raisins & Almonds and the Saffron. Mix
8. Add in the Sugar and mix well.
9. Finally when ready, sprinkle Powdered Cardamom, mix and allow the flavors to infuse.
10. Searve hot or cold.
Tips;
1. Stir the milk frequently, it tends to burn and overflow.
2. Substitute artificial sweeteners if your diet so requires.
3. Use Jaggery or Brown Sugar for a change.

Hi i was wondering how important saffron is in these recipes? Can i substitute it with turmeric? Or should i just leave it out? Its just so expensitve!
Also wondering, in other recipes on this site, u call for both black and green cardomoms, what is the difference in taste? Is it necessary to use both, or can i just use green?
Thank you so much!

Dear Hetal and Anuja,
You both are doing great! Thank you for your wonderful recipes.I simply love watching your show.
I was trying to make seviaya kheer on the day on diwali but it was’nt as it should be.it was getting dried up and becoming lumpy.I thought initially that it is due to less of milk so i kept on adding milk but every time it absorbed the milk and turned out very sticky.I could not understand the reason.The taste was good but it was just the consistency which was a turn off. May I know the reason???
Thanks again!

Hi Ashwini,
Sorry your Kheer did not come out well. The seviya usually come out sticky when the seviya is either not roasted or not roasted well enough. The ghee keeps them seperate and avoids getting all lumped up. It is a very important step.

Thank you for the reply Anuja.
I used roasted seviya so i don’t think that should be the reason. Is there a way to make more liquidy?
