It took more than a couple of trials to end up with a result that seemed to have the right quantity of each ingredient. Every recipe I had found and tried from the internet either had too much or too less of something. I think I finally nailed this one. Try it out… I’m sure you’ll agree with me :).

Serves : 8

Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp Ghee
  • 1 cup broken Vermicelli
  • ¼ cup Cashewnuts, broken into small bits
  • ¼ cup Raisins
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1½ litres full cream Milk
  • 2 green Cardamoms, peeled and crushed
  • 5-6 strands Saffron

    Method
    1. Heat the ghee on a medium flame in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan.
    2. Add the vermicelli and cashewnuts; fry until the vermicelli turns golden brown.
    3. Add the raisins and sugar; fry for half a minute.
    4. Add the milk and cook until the vermicelli is cooked and milk becomes thick enough to form a thin coat on the back of the spoon. Stir continuously to prevent the milk from sticking to the sides.
    5. Add the cardamom powder and mix well.

    Garnish with the saffron strands and serve warm.
