Combine the Ingredients
Add Sev and Set the Mithai
Garnish, Cool, and Cut
Add 1/2 teaspoon of rose water or a few strands of saffron (soaked in a tablespoon of warm milk) to the sugar syrup for a different aroma and flavor.
Replace white sugar with an equal amount of powdered jaggery for a more rustic, earthy flavor. Note that this will result in a darker-colored mithai.
Use other nuts like cashews for garnish, or add 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped nuts directly into the mixture along with the sev for extra crunch.
The combination of sugar, ghee, and carbohydrates from sev provides a quick boost of energy, making it a popular festive treat to combat fatigue.

Ghee, almonds, and pistachios provide beneficial fats, including monounsaturated fats, which are important for overall health when consumed in moderation.
