Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp cashews
  • 2 tbsp black raisins
  • 2 cups vermicelli
  • 3 cups oat milk
  • 1 cup coconut condensed milk
  • 3-4 strands saffron
  • ½ cup brown sugar - or less
  • 2 cardamom pods - pounded

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, heat coconut oil and fry the cashews until slightly brown.
  • Add in the black raisins and cook until they puff up. This takes about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cook.
  • To the same pan, add the vermicelli and sauté them until they turn light brown. This process is to ensure they do not stick or become mushy when cooked.
  • Stir in the oat milk and coconut condensed milk. Followed by saffron, brown sugar, and fresh pounded cardamom seeds.
  • Let the vermicelli cook on low to medium heat until the mixture gets thicker. Occasionally stir to ensure the vermicelli does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Check the taste and adjust sweetness and consistency as needed by adding more sugar and oat milk.
  • Remove from the heat and garnish with roasted nuts and pounded cardamom seeds.
  • Serve.
