Mithi Sev (Sweet Sev) Mo Govindji
Healthy Hints
Despite the red traffic light for sugar, this recipe uses less sugar than a traditional sev recipe. To make up for less sugar, we've added raisins and vanilla essence which both lend a certain subtle sweetness to the dish, while nuts like almonds and pistachios which contain heart-healthy nutrients add substance and depth of flavour so you don't miss out on taste! To make the flavours pop just that bit more, garnish your dish with a dusting of freshly ground cardamom powder to add a heavenly aroma and balance the earthiness of the flavours.

Directions
1. Heat the ghee in a non-stick saucepan over a slow - medium heat.
2. Add the vermicelli and cook for 10 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure that it does not burn and that the vermicelli cooks evenly.
3. Add the sugar and mix well.
4. Add 250 ml of the water, stir and cook until the vermicelli is just tender, approximately 5 minutes.
5. Add the raisins and vanilla essence with the remaining water, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
6. Lightly fluff up the sev with a fork. It should now be loose and dry.
7. Garnish with slivers of almonds and pistachios.
