Vermicelli Squares
Vermicelli Squares
Ingredients
- Butter ¼ cup
- Crushed thin vermicelli 200 gm
- Salt a pinch
- Crushed almonds ¼ cup
- Crushed pistachios ¼ cup
- Desiccated coconut ¼ cup
- Sweetened condensed milk ½ cup
- Flaked almonds & pistachios for garnishing
- Cardamom powder ¼ tsp
- Saffron threads a pinch
- Heat the butter until melted. Keep the heat on LOW and add the crushed vermicelli. Stir fry continuously on low heat until the vermicelli changes to a golden brown color. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Add the salt, cardamom, saffron, crushed nuts and desiccated coconut and stir for a few seconds then add the condensed milk, gradually adding as needed.
- The ingredients should be well combined and should come together easily. For squares, lightly butter a square pan and press the mixture with a flat spoon, patting it down flat. Sprinkle some extra almonds and pistachios to garnish and press them so they stick. Let this set in the fridge for half an hour. Cut the squares and serve. For vermicelli balls, grease your hands slightly and shape mixture into balls and garnish with almond/pistachio flakes. Allow to cool completely and serve
