Toast the vermicelli for 4 minutes, until golden.
Add the milk and crushed cardamom pods, and bring to a boil while stirring.
Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, until the vermicelli softens.
Add the sugar, saffron, raisins, almonds, and cashews.
Thicken the kheer for 5 more minutes and serve warm or cold.
