Bahar-E-Seviyan

As we get set for Raksha Bandhan tomorrow, a time to celebrate the unique bond between a brother and sister, here's a simple, delicious, quick to make recipe perfect for the occassion. Celebrate this happy occassion with my recipe of Bahar-E-Seviyan. If you have some seviyan leftover (not likely)you can make kheer out of it the next day by adding it to boiling milk and cook for a minute or two.





Ingredients

200 gms Vermicelli
1 cup Sugar
5-6 tbsp melted pure ghee
8 cardamoms
6 almonds and a few pistachios finely chopped

Procedure

Put sugar, blanched cardamoms and 2 1/2 cups of water in a pan and heat till sugar is totally dissolved. Keep aside. In a thick-bottomed kadai or pan heat ghee. Add vermicelli and keep turning on low flame till golden brown. Add sugar syrup increase flame and cook. Reduce flame when sugar syrup is fully absorbed. Cover and keep on low flame for 5 - 7 minutes till you see steam coming out. Serve hot garnished with chopped almonds and pistachios.
