Everyone likes this sweet for an evening snack or as a dessert.

Ingredients
Semiya/Vermicelli 1 tumbler 200 grams
Ghee/ clarified butter
Cardamom - 1 or 2
Water : 3 tumblers
Sugar - 100 grams
Cashews
Kesari/saffron powder

Procedure:
If what you have isn't fried vermicilli, you have to fry it in ghee. Keep a kadai, add 3 teaspoons of ghee and fry the vermicilli until they are light brown. Remove and keep aside. In the same kadai, add a teaspoon of ghee and fry the cashews. Keep aside. In the kadai, pour 3 tumblers of water and bring it to a boil. Then add the fired vermicilli. Let it cook for about 10 min. It should become soft. Otherwise cook until they become soft. If there is not much water for it to cook, add more water. Add the sugar now. Also add the kesari powder. Mix well. Check for sweetness. If you want it to be more sweet add more sugar with a little water. Let all the water get evaporated. Now add the cashews and serve hot.
