Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons ghee

  • 1 package (3.5 ounce) brown vermicelli (seviyan)

  • 6 cups skim milk

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 3 tablespoons almonds, sliced

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons powdered cardamom

Directions

  • Heat the ghee in a saucepan over medium low heat. When it is melted, add the brown vermicelli and sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently.
