Doodh Seviyan | Vermicelli Pudding

This dish has many name, we call it doodh seviyan, some call it sheer khurma, you can make it dry, runny, saffron, full of nuts. But basically its vermicelli and milk. So when I had guest at home, first thing come to my mind for dessert was this only. Its fast and easy to make and get cold fast too and everyone can enjoy this too. If you don't like runny consistency then dry up all the milk and have it.  If you like little runny then cook it that way. I gave my guest as it is but when it was time for me to eat, I had it with ice cream and whipped cream on top. So one dish but you can enjoy it your way.

BTW this happens to be my 500th post and just in time for Eid too. So Eid Mubarak to all who celebrates it. 

Ingredients : 

1 cup roasted vermicelli

4 cups milk

Sugar as per taste
