  • Measure and set aside cashews and raisins. Golden raisins taste the best, in my opinion.

  • Heat oil in a pan and roast the cashews and raisins on low. Stirring constantly, making sure they don't burn. Turn off the heat when the raisins balloon up and the cashews are golden.
  • Add soy milk, roasted vermicelli, sugar, and cardamom in a pot and cook on low until the vermicelli is cooked. Then turn off the heat and stir in the roasted cashews, raisins, and a pinch of salt.
