Eid Special Sweet Vermicelli Recipe

Description:

A vibrant golden-yellow vermicelli pudding, glistening with ghee and studded with the jewel-toned green of pistachios and the warm brown of almonds and raisins. The saffron imparts a delicate orange hue and a subtle, fragrant aroma. The vermicelli strands are softly cooked, not overly mushy, coated in a sweet, subtly spiced syrup that is both comforting and celebratory. A delicate rose water aroma adds a layer of complexity to the already rich flavor profile. The dish is presented in a shallow bowl, allowing the beautiful colors and textures of the ingredients to shine. The aroma is warm, sweet and inviting, perfect for an Eid celebration.


Ingredients:

  • - 1 cup fine vermicelli pasta
  • - 1/2 cup sugar
  • - 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
  • - 1/4 cup milk
  • - 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • - 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • - 1/4 cup raisins
  • - 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • - 1/2 teaspoon saffron strands, soaked in 2 tablespoons warm milk for 10 minutes
  • - 1/4 cup rose water
  • - Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. 1. Heat the ghee in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the vermicelli and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
  2. 2. Add the sugar and stir well, ensuring the sugar coats the vermicelli evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sugar starts to caramelize slightly.
  3. 3. Pour in the milk and stir continuously to prevent sticking. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the milk is absorbed and the vermicelli is soft but not mushy.
  4. 4. Stir in the cardamom powder, saffron milk (including the soaked saffron strands), rose water, and salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
  5. 5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. 6. Add the chopped pistachios, almonds, and raisins. Stir gently to incorporate them into the vermicelli. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. 7. Remove from the heat and let the vermicelli cool slightly. The vermicelli will continue to soften as it cools.
  8. 8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra chopped nuts and saffron strands, if desired.
