Milky Vermicelli Dessert Recipe

This vermicelli and milk dessert is called seveyyan and it makes its appearance in almost every Pakistani home for Eid,  but I make this any time of the year, just because.

Slurping a bowl of vermicelli noodles swimming in sweet, fragrant milk is pure comfort, eaten cold or warm. I like it cold 😋.


You can whip this up in no time at all and it stays in the fridge for up to 4 days. My kids used to love this for breakfast. You can find roasted vermicelli in any South Asian grocery store so please pick up a packet and make this easy, delicious dessert.

Tips and Bits

You can use all half and half if you prefer.


I break the vermicelli up with my hand as I sprinkle it into the milk.


I like to fry my almonds and pistachios in ghee and drain on a paper towel.


Fry some golden raisins or dry dates to add to this if you like.
