Nawabi Seviyan is also known as custard vermicelli. It has a crunchy vermicelli layer with a creamy custard layer, topped with sliced nuts. It’s a simple and quick dessert, perfect for Eid celebrations and other special occasions.

Ingredients:
    Vermicelli layer:
  • 150 grams Vermicelli (thin)
  • 3 tablespoons Clarified butter (ghee)
  • 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Milk powder
  • Custard layer:
  • 4 cups Milk (divided)
  • 3/4 cups Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Milk powder
  • 2 tablespoons Cornflour
  • 3 tablespoons Vanilla custard powder
  • Topping:
  • Sliced almonds (as required)
Instructions:
  1. Vermicelli layer:
    • Crush vermicelli with your hands. In a pan add clarified butter and crushed vermicelli.
    • Roast until it becomes crispy and light golden brown over a low flame.
    • Then add powder sugar and powder milk.
    • Mix thoroughly to ensure that everything is well integrated. Turn off the flame and set it aside.
    *Keep the flame low and don't over roast the vermicelli or it will burn.
  2. Custard:
    • In a bowl add half a cup of milk, custard powder, and cornflour. Mix until a thick paste is formed and no lumps remain. Keep it aside.
    • Place the milk in a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan. Bring the milk to low heat or a gentle simmer.
    • Add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
    • Then add milk powder and stir.
    • Lastly, add custard paste in small portions and whisk continually to avoid any lumps. Cook for 5-6 minutes on low flame until the custard thickens.
    *Adjust the amount of sugar accordingly.
  3. Assembling:
    • In a dish spread roasted vermicelli and press evenly with a spoon or spatula.
    • Then pour prepared custard.
    • Top with some more roasted vermicelli and sliced almonds.
    • Refrigerate for 3-4 hours before serving.
