in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or the top of a double boiler, sauté in ghee for a few seconds:
2 TBS super-fine rice vermicelli
Add:
1 quart whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
pinch saffron
unsalted cashew nuts and/or raisins, fried in a little butter (opt.)
Continue simmering over low heat, stirring periodically, until thickened and reduced to about half the volume - aobut 1-2 hours. If using a double boiler, check the water level in the bottom of the pan now and then.
Be patient with this dessert- the thickening takes time. Low-fat milk does not thicken as well as whole milk does.
