Soak almonds and pistachios overnight
Peel and shred almonds and pistachios
Boil milk until reduced to half
Add the saffron, leave to cool. While the mixture cools, break the vermicelli into 2.5 cm (1″) long pieces.
Beat the eggs then mix in the milk and set aside
Melt the ghee in a non-stick deep frying pan with a handle
Add the cardamom, cinnamon, and vermicelli. Stir and fry golden brown over low heat.
Add the egg-milk mixture and constantly stir until the vermicelli softens and the eggs coagulate.
Add the rose water and raisins (add 3 tbsp of milk powder to enhance the flavor)
Cover and keep over very low heat for 10 – 15 minutes. Leave to rest uncovered. When cool, stir with a fork to loosen the vermicelli.
Transfer to a dessert bowl. Sprinkle with the shredded almond and pistachio. Serve alongside tea or as a dessert.

If necessary, you can add extra sugar to the vermicelli. If you decide you want it sweeter after cooking, always use powdered sugar since it melts more easily and quickly.
In certain places, such as Kuwait, turmeric powder is mixed into the boiling water of vermicelli to give it an attractive yellow hue.
In some recipes, sugar is added to the boiling water with the vermicelli, with additional sugar added subsequently.
Color it the same way you would color any biryani rice, with light tones of red, orange, and yellow to make it more appetizing. This can be accomplished by adding saffron, turmeric powder, or food coloring to some rose water or water, then dispersing it in random locations after tossing and mixing the vermicelli and before covering it to finish cooking.
