How to make Kimami Vermicelli?
Step 1: First of all, heat pure ghee in a pan. Now add vermicelli to it and fry it well on low flame till it becomes light golden. Roasting enhances both the taste and aroma of vermicelli.

Second step: Put water and sugar in a separate vessel and place it on the gas and cook on medium flame. When the sugar dissolves completely and light syrup is ready, slow down the gas.

Third Step: Now add roasted vermicelli in this syrup and let it cook on low flame. Keep stirring occasionally so that the vermicelli does not stick to the bottom.

Fourth Step: When the vermicelli becomes a little soft, then crush it and add khoya and also add half a cup of milk. Mix it well and cook for some more time so that the mixture becomes thick.

Step 5: Cut almonds, cashews, pistachios and walnuts into small pieces. Fry the makhanas in light ghee so that they become crispy.

Sixth Step: Now add chopped dry fruits, raisins, makhana and coconut powder to Kimami Vermicelli and mix well. Let it cook on low flame for 5–7 minutes.

Seventh Step: When the vermicelli becomes thick and rich, turn off the gas. Now serve it hot or slightly cooled.
