Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Vermicelli — Make sure to dry roast the vermicelli until it turns golden brown for a crispy texture.
  • Saffron — Soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk for a few minutes before adding them to the sugar syrup to enhance their flavor and color.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a variation, you can add a teaspoon of rose water or a few drops of kewra essence to the sugar syrup for a floral aroma.
  • To enhance the crunchiness, you can deep fry the vermicelli strands instead of dry roasting them.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the syrup according to your preference by adding more or less sugar.

Serving advice

Sutarfeni can be enjoyed warm or chilled. Serve it as a dessert after a delicious Indian meal or as a sweet treat during festive occasions. It pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Presentation advice

Present Sutarfeni in individual serving bowls or on a dessert platter. Garnish with slivered almonds or pistachios to add a pop of color and texture. You can also sprinkle a pinch of edible rose petals for an elegant touch.
