Ingredients

  • 2 cups vermicelli noodles
  • 4 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • ½ teaspoon saffron threads (soaked in 2 tbsp rose water or warm water)
  • 2 eggs
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil (for eggs)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1- Prepare the Vermicelli: Break the vermicelli into smaller pieces. Boil water in a pot, add the vermicelli, and cook for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2- Sweeten the Vermicelli: In a pan, melt ghee or butter. Add cardamom powder, saffron water, and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add the drained vermicelli and toss until well-coated with the sweet mixture.
  3. 3- Cook the Omelet: Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the eggs into a thin omelet.
  4. 4- Serve: Place the sweet vermicelli on a plate. Cut the omelet into strips and place on top. Serve warm.
