Tips & Tricks
Ensure that vermicelli turns golden brown but avoid over-roasting, as it can burn quickly. Stir continuously to achieve an even color.
You can also use jaggery or condensed milk instead of sugar for a deeper, more caramel-like sweetness.
Freshly ground cardamom enhances the fragrance of the dish. Crush the seeds right before adding them for the best flavor.
You can add Rose water while cooking vermicelli right after adding milk . It adds a subtle floral note, but use it sparingly so it doesn’t overpower the dish.
Cook vermicelli just until it softens and absorbs the liquid. Overcooking can make it mushy, while undercooking leaves it chewy.
