Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Vermicelli (seviyan)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 liter Milk
- 100 grams Sugar
- 3 Cardamom pods (crushed or powdered)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cashews
- 1 tablespoon Golden raisins
- 1 pinch Saffron strands (optional)
Instructions
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat.
Add the vermicelli to the pan and roast it until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Set aside.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the roasted vermicelli to the boiling milk. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10–12 minutes, or until the vermicelli softens and the mixture thickens slightly.
Add the sugar, cardamom powder or crushed cardamom pods, and saffron strands (if using) to the mixture. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
In a small pan, heat a teaspoon of ghee and lightly toast the chopped almonds, chopped cashews, and raisins until golden and fragrant. Add them to the pudding mixture.
Cook the dessert for another 5–7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Note: The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional nuts if desired.
