Notes
Be careful not to burn the vermicelli. It should be dark brown and not black.
You can add qarbooza seeds, chironji, or any other nuts of your preference.
Instead of water, you can add 1 cup of milk for cooking the vermicelli soft. It changes the color of the dum ke seviyan to very light, I prefer keeping the dark color and hence add water to it.
