Prepare a mixture of milk powder and sugar in a bowl and set aside.
Heat ghee in a pan and roast the sevai for a minute.
Add full cream milk to the pan and bring it to a boil.
Add sugar and the roasted sevai to the boiling milk. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes.
Add cardamom powder, saffron, and the prepared milk powder mixture to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate to cool.
In another bowl, soak chia seeds in water for 10 minutes.
Once the sevai mixture is cooled, add the soaked chia seeds, dry fruits, and chopped fruits to it.
Garnish with tuti-fruti and serve chilled.
You can skip saffron if you don't have it, but it adds a nice aroma and color to the dessert.
Use fresh fruits for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust sugar according to your taste preference.
If you don't have chia seeds, you can skip them or replace them with basil seeds.
