Sweet Sevai (Vermicelli Dessert)

sweet sevai

This Indian vermicelli dessert is really fast to cook and will keep your sweet tooth satisfied. Sweet sevai is very easy to make and since this recipe is made without milk unlike sevai kheer, it’s ok for people with lactose intolerance. I don’t use much ghee to cook it (keeping calories in mind) but you can do that if you want to make it rich.

Recipe of sweet sevai

½ cup sevai (vermicelli)

2 cup water

4 tsp sugar

1 tsp ghee (clarified butter)
