Meethi Seviyan Dry Recipe is a classic Indian dessert made during festive occasion and also during Eid ! Meethi / meetha means sweet and seviyan is vermicelli hence the name. This sweet dish is made with different version in all Indian household. Now mainly 3 types of vermicelli are made first one is spicy vermicelli, second is sweet vermicelli dry and last is vermicelli kheer.
Mom used to make this for breakfast Or snack. I felt nostalgic when I made this today. I love them for quick snack. This sweet can also be offered as Prasad or offering to God. Meethi Seviyan Dry is made with roasted vermicelli, milk, sugar, nuts and cardamom powder.
Kids love this for meal boxes or snack. It’s quite rich and healthy sweet good for growing kids. However if you are health conscious then use skimmed milk or water for this recipe. The dry and kheer version is almost same recipe. Only for the dried recipe you add less of milk and allow it to evaporate.
If you ask me I love both version. As I have a sweet tooth and both are fine with me. However I miss my mom’s seviyan. I just can’t make like her. Also check some Diwali sweet recipes here…
