Simple boiled Meethi Sewaiyan is a long lost recipe of Hyderabadi cuisine. My grandmother used to make it for us using pure homemade Ghee or Clarified Butter and Granulated Sugar both sprinkled on top. That's it. Nothing much complicated at all. Use any variety of Vermicelli available to you. But traditionally, the authentic recipe has thin variety of plain unroasted Vermicelli or Sewaiyan available in the city markets here.
The aroma of pure Ghee mixed in gently into the boiled Sewaiyan and then topped with Sugar to complete lends a charm of it's own to this beautiful dish. Dry Fruits of one's own choice or Dessicated Coconut or thin flakes of it also can be used as a topping. The dry Coconut or Copra with different colours would also be used to garnish. Everyone would love to indulge in this amazing looking Dessert.
It was made in every Hyderabadi household on Eid before but nowadays this simple yet flavourful recipe has been lost in the bylanes of my dear old Hyderabad Deccan. Today's generation might not be aware of it even and that's why I make it a point to serve this to my children to keep them closer to their roots. My grandmother used to make it and even my mom makes it to date and now I do it for my family as well hoping that my children would take this legacy forward keeping it afresh in their minds.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Bring water to a rolling boil on a high heat at first. Add a cardamom to it. It's optional. You may skip that.
2

As soon as the water starts boiling vigorously, add the sewaiyan or the vermicelli. Boil until done. It gets done very quickly. Keep an eye on it. Water should be more so that they get boiled nicely and do not tend to become mushy.
3

Drain after the vermicelli is done. Add it to a serving platter directly. Drizzle ghee on top when it's still hot. Top up with the sugar. Also can garnish with dessicated coconut or thin shavings of it too. I topped it with chopped almonds and cashewnuts.
4

Serve it right away to your loved ones and friends alike. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
