🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 oz dried vermicelli (seviyaan)
✓ 1.5 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
✓ 1/3 cup evaporated skim milk
✓ 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 4 large dates, pitted and chopped
✓ 2 tsp rose water
✓ 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
✓ 1/8 tsp saffron threads, soaked in 2 tbsp warm milk
✓ 1.5 tsp light olive oil spray
✓ 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Toast the Vermicelli: Break vermicelli into 1-inch pieces. Lightly spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium. Add vermicelli and toast, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant (do not brown). Transfer to a plate.

2. Bloom the Saffron: Place saffron threads in a small bowl and pour 2 tbsp warm milk over them. Set aside for 5 minutes to infuse and release color and flavor.

3. Combine Milk Base: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2% milk, evaporated skim milk, and honey over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent scorching, heating until small bubbles form at the edges (do not boil). This takes 3-4 minutes.

4. Add the Vermicelli: Gently stir the toasted vermicelli into the warm milk. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until vermicelli is soft and milk is slightly thickened. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.

5. Infuse Aromatics: Remove from heat and stir in the saffron with its soaking milk, rose water, and ground cardamom. Mix thoroughly to distribute the floral notes evenly. Let cool for 2 minutes.

6. Fold in Greek Yogurt: In a small bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth to prevent lumps. Gently fold it into the warm vermicelli mixture using a spatula, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

7. Layer with Dates: Divide the pudding between two serving bowls or small glasses. Distribute chopped dates evenly throughout, pressing some into the pudding for sweetness bursts.

8. Garnish & Chill: Top each serving with sliced pistachios, almonds, and a pinch of cardamom. Serve warm immediately for best floral aroma, or chill for 30 minutes for a chilled version. Both are equally delicious.
