About The Recipe
During Eid time especially in Eid-ul-Fitr, recipes made with seviyan play a big role. Both homemade and store bought seviyan are used in making seviyan (pronounced as ‘say-wiy-ya’) recipes. Meethi Seviyan is light and mildly sweet version of sheer khorma.
My mom makes delicious meethi seviyan especially for me as I am not fond of sheer khorma. She also packs meethi seviyan along with other delicacies as a part of Eid return gift too.
Hyderabadi Meethi Seviyan is made with fine vermicelli which are especially available during Ramadan. Chutae ki Seviyan is used in making this recipe.
Seviyan ka Muzaffar is another name for meethi seviyan. Muzzafar means finely chopped mixed fruits. As soon as Ramadan starts, mom makes a big jar of Muzaffar ready.
