NOTES
- We get seviyan from the market which is specially used for making this dessert or you can use the vermicelli which is usually available.
- But the real taste comes from using specially made sheer khurma vermicelli
- The real taste too comes out if pure ghee with wonderful fragrance is used.
- Add rose water drops if you wish to in the finishing dish as an optional ingredient and you could also add raisins too and many other dry fruits.
- While adding seviyan do not add it at once. Add them gradually and check the thickness. If the thickness is what you desired for then do not add more vermicelli else the sweet would thicken totally.
