You’re such a darling for making this video. I am Muslim so our version of vermicelli is very different. My husband is from a Hindu family so I’m thrilled to finally be able to make this wonderful dish for him. Thank you and God bless u and your family. Really appreciate all your hard work 🌷🌷🌷You’re an absolute star💜💜💜

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Thanks so much! How is your recipe different for my own interest?

[@farahk8362]

@@GaithreeDeviLuckan it’s the drier version. Made with butter, sugar, water, almonds etc. The butter is melted with the elachi n cinnamon, water and sugar is added and it’s cooked until done. Nuts and coconut is sprinkled at the end. Very simple recipe. Honestly I love both versions. Tnx again for sharing my dearest💜🌷

This is a lot like the cape malay dish called Boeber. Like most of the "malay" dishes here, it's a fusion of malay and indian/south east asian influence. We always look forward to it in Ramadan or special occasions, such a yum comfort food. Looking forward to trying your recipe :)

Can we use Ghee instead of Margarine ? I see that you frequently use Margarine in many recipes, is there any specific purpose.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes you can substitute. Often margarine is just the more economic choice but it also contains salt so if we wish to make the recipe salt-less we will substitute with ghee
