  • About

It is not unusual even today to see a Punjabi grandmother twirling dough for hours to make sevian—vermicelli. This dessert is particularly popular in winter.

Ingredients

  • 60 g/2 o

Method

Preparation

THE SEVIAN: Heat ghee in a kadhai, add vermicelli and saute over medium heat, stirring constantly—but gently, lest it crumbles—until golden brown. Drain the fat.

THE ALMONDS: Blanch, cool and remove the skin.

THE CARDAMOM: Peel, discard the skin and pound the seeds with a pestle.
