Ingredients

• 200 grams Vermicelli
• 4 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 liter Milk
• 150 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 teaspoon Rose water
• 10 pieces Almonds
• 10 pieces Pistachios
• 10 strands Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the saffron strands in 2 tablespoons of warm water to release their color and aroma. Set aside.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 4 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat.

Step 3

Break the vermicelli into smaller pieces and add them to the pan. Roast the vermicelli in the ghee until golden brown and aromatic, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate pot, bring 1 liter of milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and allow the milk to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

Step 5

Once the milk has reduced slightly (approximately by 20%), add the roasted vermicelli and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the sugar and stir continuously until it dissolves completely. Let the mixture cook for 5-7 minutes or until the vermicelli softens and absorbs the milk.

Step 7

Stir in the cardamom powder, rose water, and the soaked saffron (along with its liquid) into the pan. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Meanwhile, blanch the almonds and pistachios to remove their skins. Slice them thinly and set them aside for garnishing.

Step 9

Transfer the Muzzafar to a serving dish and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 10

Garnish the Muzzafar with the sliced almonds, pistachios, and additional saffron strands if desired. Serve warm or chilled.
