    seviyan ki kheer or milk vermicelli  is a delicious Indian dessert. We call it by many names, kheerni, Pal payasam, seviyan kheer. Each family has its own recipe of sewai kheer. Some add dry fruits to their meethi seviyan, others serve it as plain semiya payasam. Some add saffron others just cardamom. Most mums love to make it for their kids. Picky kids may say no to glass of milk but they will never refuse a bowl of pudding. This sweet is great for them as you may optionally add chopped nuts and saffron. It is simple and needs less time and attention than other sweets. You can cook it on the burner, while you make dinner.

    Everyone loves it. All you need is some roasted vermicelli, milk and sugar. Yet the treat is delicious. Kids love it and even elders who cannot chew much. Vermicelli is usually made of durum wheat and is quite filling.

    Nuts can be added as per your choice like unsalted cashews
    Pudding tends to be thick when cooled. If you don't like thick pudding then add some more milk to it while serving it warm or cold.
