My Favourite Sweet Toasted Vermicelli For Ramadan Recipe

This recipe for Sweet Toasted Vermicelli (Seviyan) is perfect for a light yet satisfying Suhoor meal during Ramadan. Unlike richer, creamier Seviyan desserts, this version boasts a less sweet profile, making it ideal for a pre-dawn meal. Seviyan, a type of toasted vermicelli, is a staple in Pakistani and Indian cuisine, used in both sweet and savory dishes. Easily found in Asian grocery stores or the international aisle of larger supermarkets, you can also toast your own fine vermicelli! We use a vibrant tropical dried fruit and nut mix (coconut, papaya, pineapple, banana, raisins, and peanuts), but feel free to substitute with slivered almonds and chopped pistachios. This recipe is quick, easy, and utterly delicious!
