Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vermicelli
- 4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (because life needs a little sweetness!)
- 1/4 cup dates, chopped
- 1/4 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder (a little spice for the soul)
- 2 tablespoons ghee (the golden elixir of flavor)
- 1/4 cup khoya (optional, but oh-so-worth it!)
Instructions
- Roast the Vermicelli: In a cozy pan, let’s heat up that ghee. Toss in your vermicelli and roast it until it’s golden brown and giving off those heavenly nutty aromas. It’s like a mini aromatherapy session right in your kitchen!
- Boil the Milk: In a separate pot (we’re all about multitasking here), bring the milk to a gentle boil. Keep an eye on it—no one wants to clean up a milk explosion!
- Mix the Magic: Once the milk is bubbling like a happy pot, add the roasted vermicelli. Give it a good stir and let it simmer until the vermicelli is soft—just a few minutes will do.
- Add the Sweetness: Stir in the sugar, followed by your chopped dates, almonds, pistachios, and raisins. Seriously, you’re turning this into a treasure chest of flavors!
- Spice it Up: Sprinkle in that magical cardamom powder and mix well. Your kitchen will smell delightful!
- Consider the Khoya: If you’re feeling fancy, this is where you can fold in the khoya for extra creaminess. Who doesn’t love a little decadence?
- Final Touch: Let everything cook together for a few more minutes. Serve it hot for a cozy treat or refrigerate it for a refreshing dessert later. The choice is yours!
Notes
- Don’t Overthink It: If your sauce looks a bit lumpy, don’t panic! Sometimes those little lumps are just character.
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to swap out the nuts or add in your favorite dried fruits. This recipe is versatile—just like you!
