Sevaiyan ki Barfi in 10 minutes with 4 basic ingredients-sevaiyan/vermicelli,nuts,condensed milk and ghee or unsalted butter. The taste and texture remind me of bakhlava. The golden crisp sevaiyan is similar to the flaky phyllo sheets and the nuts and condensed milk complete the package!
This recipe was shared by my friend Nishita, who is an amazing cook. Have shared her Rasa Aloo and Paneer Bhurji recipes before on the blog. Her recipe calls for 3 cups mixed nuts to 1 cup sevaiyan and 1 can of condensed milk. I felt that was way too much nuts and reduced it to 1:1 ratio.
My readers and followers really appreciate my quick,easy and fuss free recipes that require few ingredients and are made quickly. So I decided I would save time by using ready sliced or slivered almonds and just crush them using a rolling pin, instead of chopping 3 types of nuts-major time saver!
