Ramadan Recipe: Sweet Vermicelli
Sweet Vermicelli (Meethi Seviyan) is a popular dessert in South Asian cuisine, especially during Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr. This dish is made by frying thin vermicelli noodles in ghee (clarified butter) until golden, then cooking them in sweetened milk flavored with cardamom, saffron, and sometimes rose water or kewra essence. It is garnished with chopped nuts like almonds, pistachios, and cashews, as well as dried fruits like raisins. The result is a rich, creamy, and aromatic dessert that's perfect for celebrating the end of Ramadan. It's often served warm or chilled, depending on personal preference, and is a comforting treat that is beloved by many during festive occasions.
