30
gm butter
divided
1/4
cup
sugar
2
large eggs
5-6
strands saffron

Instructions
Melt 10 gm butter in a wide skillet. Saute the vermicelli till roasted. Set aside.
Boil water in a pan with a pinch of salt till rolling. Add the vermicelli and cook till done. Drain into a colander.
Melt the remaining butter and mix in the sugar. Tip into the drained hot vermicelli and give a good mix till the butter mixes in and sugar is melted.
Whisk the eggs with the saffron, milk and a pinch of salt. Heat oil in a saucepan and cook the omelette till done.
Roll the omelette and cut into 8 pieces or simply divide into two.
To serve, divide the sweetened vermicelli into two plates and top with the omelette.
Serve hot with tea!
Notes
I have kept the vermicelli without any flavoring, but you may add a dash of rosewater to enhance it's taste.
