Method
Step 1
Toast the Vermicelli: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Barilla Vermicelli and stir continuously until it turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 2
Prepare the Milk Mixture: In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. Add vanilla or rose water if desired.
Step 3
Cook the Vermicelli: Pour the hot milk mixture over the toasted vermicelli. Stir gently and cook over low heat for 7–10 minutes until the vermicelli becomes soft and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 4
Add Cream and Nuts: Add the fresh cream, nuts, and raisins. Mix well and simmer for 2 more minutes.
Step 5
Bake (Optional – for Umm Ali style): Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Spread the whipped cream on top and sprinkle crushed pistachios. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 10–15 minutes or until the top is lightly golden.
Step 6
Serve: Serve warm or chilled, topped with extra nuts and a touch of cinnamon if desired.
