Seviya Kheer or Semiya Khir is one of the easiest desserts and very popular. Simple, sweet and quick to make…hmmm, can’t go wrong with that. A great variation to the Rice Kheer. It is my go-to sweet when I want to make something to warm and comfort my soul or when I need a little pepping up. Sevia Kheer is made at a lot of pujas and festivals.
