After a minute remove the nuts from the pan to a plate/ bowl. Now in the same pan add 1 tsp ghee and vermicelli. Roast it for few seconds. I used roasted vermicelli so I skipped this step. Now add water and mix well. Allow it to boil well. When vermicelli looks cooked add milk and mix well.Allow it to boil well.
