Vermicelli Squares

Ingredients For Vermicelli Squares:
Butter 1/4 cup
Crushed thin vermicelli 200 gm
Salt a pinch
Crushed almonds 1/4 cup
Crushed pistachios 1/4 cup
Desiccated coconut 1/4 cup
Condensed milk 1/2 cup
Almonds & pistachio for garnishing
Cardamom powder 1/4 tsp
Saffron threads a pinch

Method:
Heat the butter until melted.
Keep the heat on low and add the crushed vermicelli.
Stir fry continuously on low heat until the vermicelli changes to a golden brown color.
This takes about 5-7 minutes.
Add the salt, cardamom, saffron, crushed nuts and desiccated coconut and stir for a few seconds then add the condensed milk, gradually adding as needed.
The ingredients should be well combined and should come together easily.
For squares, lightly butter a square pan and press the mixture with a flat spoon, patting it down flat.
Sprinkle some extra almonds and pistachios to garnish and press them so they stick.
Let this set in the fridge for half an hour.
Cut the squares and serve.
For vermicelli balls, grease your hand slightly and shape mixture into balls and garnish with almonds/ pistachio flakes.
Allow to cool completely and serve.
