Ingredients

1 cup roasted vermicelli (sewaiya)

2 ripe mangoes (pureed)

750 ml full cream milk

3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon ghee

¼ teaspoon cardamom powder

10–12 chopped almonds

10–12 chopped pistachios

How to Make Mango Sewaiya

Step 1

Heat ghee in a pan and roast the vermicelli until it turns light golden and aromatic.

Boil the milk in another pan. Add the roasted vermicelli and cook on medium heat until it becomes soft.

Step 3

Mix in sugar and cardamom powder. Stir continuously until everything blends well.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool completely. This step is important because adding mango puree to hot milk may cause curdling.

Step 5

Once cooled, fold in the fresh mango puree gently.

Step 6

Add chopped mango cubes, almonds, pistachios, and saffron.

Step 7

Refrigerate for one to two hours.

Step 8

Serve chilled and garnish with extra mango cubes, chopped nuts, and a few rose petals.

Tips for the Best Mango Sewaiya
