Directions

* Soak the dry dates in water for a few hours then cut into long thin slices. Boil milk with sugar on low heat till it is reduced to ¾ of its quantity. Boil the nuts, blanch and slice them finely; clean raisins. Roast the saffron and powder it.
* Heat ghee or butter on low heat and fry the vermicelli till golden, about 1-2 minutes. Add the dates, chiroli and all the chopped nuts and fry gently for a few minutes more. Add the hot milk and cook again till desired consistency is obtained. Add saffron and serve hot in teacups.
