- Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a pan and fry the raisins and cashew nuts until it turns into light brown. Keep it aside.
- In the same pan, roast vermicelli in low heat while stirring constantly until it turns golden brown. Transfer it to a plate and keep it aside.
- Bring water to boil in a heavy bottom pan, add the roasted vermicelli. Cook for 5 minutes until soft.
- Add sugar, pinch of salt and cardamom powder to the mixture and boil for two minutes. By now the vermicelli would have turned transparent.
