Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vermicelli or 3 tablespoons spaghetti (Spaghetti makes the pudding thicker and heavier, I prefer vermicelli)
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ghee or 1 teaspoon butter (Use ghee for authenticity!)
  • 1 teaspoon cashews, chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon saffron (Only if you can afford it! :)

Method

  • Place a pan on a medium-high flame and lightly roast the vermicelli.
  • Add the milk and keep stirring until it boils.
  • Reduce the flame to low and add the saffron.
  • Stir every 5 minutes to keep the milk from getting scalded.
  • In about 20 minutes, the vermicelli will be cooked.
  • Add condensed milk, sugar, and stir again till it boils.
  • Remove from flame.
  • In a small frying pan, roast the cashewnuts in ghee; then add (along with the ghee leftover in the frying pan) to the cooked vermicelli-milk mixture.
  • Pour into dessert cups and serve hot, or after cooling and chilling in the refrigerator (chilling for a few hours gives the pudding a thicker texture).
