Sweet Vermicelli Recipe for Toddlers and Kids | Sweet Semiya

Sweet Vermicelli – tasty breakfast/snack made with vermicelli/Semiya, milk, sugar/jaggery and nuts for toddlers, kids and for the whole family. Sweet vermicelli is also known as meethi seviyan, a special dish made for Ramzan/Eid. The authentic meethi seviyan is made with sugar, I have just replaced it with jaggery to make it healthy! This sweet vermicelli is a nice variation to a usual savory vermicelli upma. It can be given to toddlers after one year as a snack or even for breakfast or dinner. Kids will love it for sure:)

Notes :

• Milk amount depends on the type of vermicelli used. 1:2 ratio of vermicelli vs milk worked well for me.
• You can replace milk with water.
• Instead of jaggery sugar can be used.
• The final consistency of this recipe should be slightly dry and less sticky.
• Generally vermicelli doesn’t cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
• Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
• Don’t prefer whole nuts for small babies, instead add powdered nuts.
