In a thick bottomed pan, heat the ghee till it melts.
Fry the cashews and raisins till golden brown and keep aside.
In the same pan, add vermicelli. Roast till golden brown.
Now add the sugar and the crushed cardamom and mix well.
Keep stirring till the sugar and the vermicelli are mixed evenly.
Cook for 5 min.
In the meanwhile, Boil 1 ½ cups of water in a separate bowl.
Add the boiling water to the vermicelli and mix well.
Cook till the water is absorbed by the vermicelli with occasional stirring.
Now close the lid and cook for 5 min.
Garnish with roasted cashews and raisins and serve hot.
Notes
*The sugar will keep the vermicelli separate and they won’t stick to each other.** If you do not want to add sugar directly to the vermicelli, add it once the vermicelli is cooked with boiling water.
