Ramzan 2018: Make sure you make these amazing sevaiyan recipes
Muslims across the globe are observing a month-long fast, the holy period,
which is known as Ramzan that started on 17th May, 2018. This will be followed by
grand celebrations of
Eid-Al-Fitr or 'Meethi Eid'. This festival is known as 'Meethi Eid', as people look forward to new beginnings with positivity and blessings of the almighty. People celebrate 'Meethi Eid' by preparing one of the most loved desserts-
sevaiyan. According to Chef Osama Jalali from Noida, a lot of hard work goes into making sevaiyan. Usually people prefer cooking it overnight to get the best taste of this delight. There are two types of
sevaiyan that are prepared- one is
ksheer and the other is
kimami sevaiyan.
Ksheer is mostly milky, whereas kimami sevaiyan is the dry sevai cooked in sugar syrup.
