Ingredients

  • 1 cup Vermicelli / Semiya
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Ghee
  • 1.5 cup Water
  • 1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder
  • 5 nos Cashew Nuts
  • A Pinch Kesari Colour

Instructions

  • In a pan, heat ghee and roast the cashew nuts. Remove and roast the semiya. Keep it aside.
  • In the same pan, take the water and bring it to boil. Add the Vermicelli and cook for 10 mins or till its soft.
  • Add the sugar, Kesari colour, cardamom powder and sim for 10 mins or till its cooked.
  • Finally, garnish it with cashew nuts.

Notes

  • Instead of cooking directly, you can pressure cook it with 1 cup of water too.
  • To get the silky texture, you can add the sugar first, then add the semiya. But this way, it takes a longer time to get cooked. So, in that case, add 1 cup of extra water and cook till its soft.
