Sweet Vermicelli Cake

Ingredients: 275 g vermicelli, 60 g of ghee, 1 ¼  cup  of sugar, 1 small cinnamon stick, 6 cardamom pods,1 ¾ cups of liquid milk, raisins, ¼ cup of sliced almonds, 5 tablespoons of  dessicated coconut.

Method: Grease a tray and place aside. Meanwhile, in a pan, roast the vermicelli over low heat until it turns slightly darker. After few minutes, remove from heat and set aside to cool. In another pan, add the ghee, almonds, raisins, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and stir all for 1 minute. Add the liquid milk, let it boil. Add sugar, mix well and add the vermicelli. Cook well, until the vermicelli absorbs all the liquid. If required, you can add some more liquid milk.  When cooking is done, pour the mixture in the greased tray, leave to set for 2 hours. Garnish with grated coconut and sliced almonds. After few hours you can cut them in square shape. I apply some ghee in the knife edge so that cutting can be easily done.

Voilà the sweet vermicelli cake is ready!
