Toast vermicelli in the same pan for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden. Carefully add milk, dates and cardamom. Simmer gently 15–20 minutes, stirring often.

Add sugar and most of the nuts and raisins. Cook 3–5 minutes until the vermicelli is soft. Top with the reserved garnish and serve warm or promptly chill.
A little kitchen care
Use a food thermometer: poultry 74°C, ground beef 71°C, fish 63°C. Cook eggs until whites and yolks are firm. Keep raw and ready-to-eat foods separate.
