Gather @pistachio{40%g}, @almond{40%g} and @green cardamom pod{5}.

Lightly crush the cardamom pods to split them, and have the @vermicelli{100%g}, @dates{10}, @sugar{80%g} and nuts measured out.

Melt the @ghee{2%tbsp} in the pot over medium heat; add the vermicelli and cardamom and toast, stirring constantly, until the strands turn a nutty golden brown. ~{5%minutes}

Pour in the @milk{1%l} and add the sliced dates; bring to a gentle simmer.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vermicelli is fully soft and the milk has thickened slightly, about 20 minutes. ~{20%minutes}

Stir in the sugar until dissolved, then fold in the pistachios and almonds, saving a pinch of each for garnish.

Ladle into bowls, scatter the reserved nuts on top, and serve warm — or refrigerate and serve chilled by afternoon, as many households do.
