Seviyan Kheer/ Sev Ni Kheer/ Vermicelli Kheer

Seviyan Kheer/sev ni kheer/ vermicelli kheer

My blog has completed 200 recipes . I am thankful to all my viewers for liking my recipes and showing their encouragement and support. So friends let us celebrate this special moment with the delicious Indian dessert – “Seviyaan kheer/ Sev ni Kheer/ Vermicelli kheer.

Seviyaan kheer/ Sev ni kheer/Vermicelli kheer is my one of the favorite dessert. Kheer is a pudding prepared by cooking rice, oats, vermicelli, poha (flattened rice flakes), or amaranth (rajgira) in milk and sugar. The one prepared by using vermicelli or wheat noodles is known as seviyaan kheer /sev ni kheer/vermicelli kheer. The thin wheat vermicelli cooked in milk and flavored with spices such as nutmeg, cardamom powder, saffron, and nuts  is irresistible. It is a very creamy and rich dessert. Making vermicelli kheer or vermicelli pudding is most common during festivals in India. It is quick and easy to make. Vermicelli is known as sev or seviyaan in India. Seviyaan kheer can be enjoyed hot or chilled. I am sharing with you the step by step recipe of the seviyaan that I had prepared along with my mother- in- law (Geeta Shah) during festival of Navratri.

Seviyaan kheer is also a good option  for a potluck dinner during festivals or get-together. It can be made in big quantities. It can also be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated. I had made this kheer during our Diwali potluck dinner with our friends here at Sydney. It was enjoyed by all.

The seviyaan kheer can be prepared, refrigerated and enjoyed for 3-4 days.

Below are few points taken care while making kheer:

  • I have used full fat milk for the recipe. It makes kheer creamier. However you can prepare the kheer with low fat milk and still enjoy.
  • For vegan, the milk can be substituted with almond or cashewnut milk.
  • The quantity of vermicelli used for making the kheer can be increased or decreased. If you prefer thicker kheer like thick pudding, increase the quantity of vermicelli in the recipe. For thin consistency of kheer decrease the vermicelli in the recipe.
  • The vermicelli kheer tends to get thicker once cooked and cooled.
  • Always use a  thick bottom pan to make kheer.
  • The nuts can be used as per your liking. You can also add raisins (kismis).

So friends do make this delicious recipe for the next celebration and share your feedback with me.

    Swapna, Sevaiya Kheer is among the preferred sweet dishes for most festivals in India. I really love it when topped with dry fruits. Thank you for sharing this recipe because I have been looking for a reliable recipe for kheer since a while. Keep sharing tasty recipes here. Looking forward to more!

  2. I am in the U.S., how much milk do you think you are adding for this recipe (about how many cups)?

    Any information you could provide would be helpful!

    • Hi Sandra

      Thank you so much for going through the recipe. I have added 2 lit of milk for making 2 cups vermicelli. It is around 5-6 cups of milk. (However you can adjust the consistency of the kheer as per your liking. If you prefer a thin consistency of kheer add more milk ).

    • Thank you so much. Yes absolutely you can make using rice vermicelli to make the kheer gluten free. Rice vermicelli is thin and will cook very quickly so it is better to add it later after boiling the milk to the desired consistency !!
