Few tips for the recipe:
1. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
2. Use good quality & fresh milk.
3. The amount of sevai/vermicelli can be decreased or increased. If you add more sevai, the consistency will be much thicker like a thick pudding. You can go for the kheer consistency as per your liking.
4. Dry fruits can be added as per your choice. You can also add some saffron or rose water to the sevai kheer.
5. When cooled the sevai kheer tends to be thick. So if you don’t like thick sevia kheer then don’t thicken the milk. Alternatively you can add some more milk to the sevai kheer.
