The color should be between dark and light brown.
Take a open pan and add the milk to it.
Add the vermicilli to the milk and boil on a medium fire until the vermicilli is completely done.
This should take about 20-30 minutes.
Now add the custard powder and keep stirring.
Add the condensed milk , sugar, raisins and the nuts and stir till the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens.
