Seviyan (Sweet Vermicelli)

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons	22ml	Ghee
125		Fine vermicelli
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Hot water
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Saffron strands
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Sugar
2 tablespoons	30ml	Sultanas
2 tablespoons	30ml	Silvered blanched almonds
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Ground cardamom

Recipe Instructions

Break the vermicelli into small pieces less than 2.5cm (1 inch) in length. They need not be uniform, but longer pieces make stirring difficult.

Heat ghee in a heavy saucepan and fry the vermicelli intil golden brown, stirring so it colours evenly. Add hot water and saffron and bring to the boil, then turn heat low, cover and simmer gently until vermicelli is cooked. Add sugar and sultanas and cook uncovered until liquid is absorbed. Stir in the almonds and cardamom, stir well and serve warm with cream.
