Sawine

   Hey bloggers ! For those of you who either celebrated Eid-Ul-Fitr, attended a family or friend's home for this sacred day or had a function in school or work I'm sure sawine was part of the dessert menu. In light of this beautiful day, I've decided to share the recipe to all those who absolutely love sawine. I know I do :)
   For those of you who don't know, sawine is a dessert for the Muslim festival of Eid-ul-Fitr.

Ingredients 

2 tbsps ghee ( clarified butter)
1 pack of vermicelli 
4 cups water
1/2 carnation milk
1/2 tin condensed milk
1 tsp cinnamon (1 stick)
3 drops of vanilla essence
3 cloves
optional: raisins and cherries

Method 

   After heating the pot, put two tablespoons of ghee in it. Then, break up the vermicelli into bite size pieces and place this is in the pot while turning constantly for a few minutes on low heat. Please make sure it doesn't burn. Following this, then add four cups water and let this come to a boil and add the remaining ingredients one by one leaving the milk for the last minute as this has a tendency to burn. 






Whip it up and let me know if there's anything that it needs !
