How to Make Balalit Saweeya Or Seviyan Sweet Vermicelli Breakfast

1. Preheat your broiler. Arrange 250g vermicelli noodles on oven trays in a single layer.
2. Broil for 5-7 minutes, watching carefully and turning halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
3. Remove from oven and set aside.
4. Bring 3 liters of water to a rolling boil. Add the golden-brown vermicelli and cook for precisely 3 minutes.
5. Drain the vermicelli immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
6. In a large pan, melt 100g butter (or 1/2 cup vegetable oil) over medium heat. Add 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cardamom, a pinch of saffron threads, and 2 tbsp rose water. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to thicken.
7. Gently add the drained vermicelli to the sugar mixture. Stir well to coat each strand evenly.
8. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vermicelli is tender and the sauce has thickened. (Optional: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 lightly beaten egg during the last 5 minutes of cooking for a savory twist).
9. Serve warm. Garnish with extra saffron threads, chopped nuts, or dried fruits (optional).
