This recipe transforms the humble seviyan (vermicelli) and traditional rabdi (sweetened, thickened milk) into a show-stopping festive treat. The creation features two distinct textures: a crunchy, golden Seviyan Nest that offers a satisfying snap, and a velvety-smooth, chilled Sitaphal Rabdi filling.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Prep the Seviyan

Begin by taking the fine, roasted vermicelli and gently crushing it further into smaller, manageable strands. This helps in binding them tightly to form the nest shape later on. Ensure the strands are not overly powdered but are broken down enough to be moldable.
