In a heavy bottom pot, heat the ghee under medium-high heat and add the vermicelli.

Cook vermicelli by stirring constantly until they begin to turn golden brown. You have to make sure you dont stop stirring, otherwise they tend to stick to the bottom of the pot

Immediately pour the boiling water and stir to mix

Add sugar, cardamom and vanilla and stir to mix

Turn the heat to medium-low and allow mixture to cook, while using a fork to move around the vermicelli to make sure they dont stick to the bottom of the pot.

Once the vermicelli is cooked, turn heat off and immediately pour into a serving dish

Let it cool before serving
