Notes
1. I would urge you to soak dry fruits and dry dates beforehand in warm water for couple of hours.
2. The vermicelli I have used is of fine variety and already roasted one. But I would insist you to roast it well again once.
3. The amount of seviyan I have mentioned is enough to add to this dessert. If you add more it will make sheer korma very thick.
4. Don’t overcook the milk seviyan mixture as it thickens once it cools down.
5. Adding sugar is completely optional. If you eat your dessert less sweet, only condensed milk would be enough.
