Nawabi Shemai (Vermicelli Dessert)

Start by lightly frying raisins and chopped almonds in a little ghee. Set them aside.

In the same pan, fry the vermicelli with ghee until they turn golden brown.

To make the cream mixture, mix 1 cup of milk with corn flour. Stir continuously without lumps.

Strain 2 cups of milk and add the corn flour mixture while stirring continuously. Keep stirring until it thickens.

Add vanilla essence and 1/2 cup of sugar to the mixture and keep stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Layer half of the fried vermicelli in a bowl and pour half of the creamy mixture over it.

Add a second layer of vermicelli and pour the remaining creamy mixture on top.

Decorate with fried almonds and raisins.

Let the dessert cool and set in the refrigerator.

Once set, serve this delicious Nawabi Semai to enjoy its rich flavours.
