Ingredients
- 1 cup Vermicelli (thin roasted)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 pods Cardamom pods (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons Cashews (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Almonds (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Raisins
- 5 strands Saffron strands (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of ghee, and let it melt.
Step 2
Add chopped cashews, sliced almonds, and raisins to the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes until the nuts are golden and the raisins puff up. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the roasted vermicelli and stir for 1-2 minutes to ensure an even golden color and enhance its aroma.
Step 4
In a separate small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved. If using saffron, add it to the sugar syrup for extra flavor and color.
Step 5
Pour the hot sugar syrup into the pan with the roasted vermicelli. Stir carefully to avoid lumps and ensure the syrup is evenly absorbed.
Step 6
Add crushed cardamom pods and stir well. Continue cooking the vermicelli mixture on low heat until the liquid fully evaporates and the mixture appears soft but dry.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and mix in the fried nuts and raisins.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy this delicious and aromatic dessert!
