Instructions
-
1Heat the ghee in a large pot over a low heat.
-
2Add the cashew nuts to the ghee, and fry until browned.
-
3Turn off the flame and add the raisins. When the raisins swell up, take both them and the cashews out of the ghee with a spoon and set aside.
-
4Switch the low heat back on and heat the ghee. Add the vermicelli and fry, stirring so it turns golden-brown. Watch it carefully so it does not burn.
-
5Pour in the milk and water. Add the cashews and raisins back into the mixture.
-
6Add the sliced dates and almonds. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the vermicelli starts to get flexible; then add sugar.
-
7Keep on the low flame for another 2 minutes, then add cream and cardamom powder.
-
8Heat just a little longer and mix well.
-
9Serve hot.
