Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp ghee / clarified butter
  • 1 cup broken seviyan / vermicelli
  • 10-12 cashews broken
  • 10-12 almonds chopped
  • 10-12 pistachios chopped
  • 15-20 golden raisins
  • 6-7 large dates chopped /10 small dates
  • 5 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar or as per taste
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder / Elaichi powder
  • 1 tsp Saffron syrup

Instructions

  • First heat 1 tbsp ghee in a nonstick pan and roast almonds, cashews, pistachios, raisins and dates on low flame for 1-2 minutes. The nuts turn golden brown and raisins will plump up. Remove the Dry Nuts from the pan and keep aside.
  • Add remaining 1 tbsp ghee in the same pan and roast vermicelli on low flame for 2-3 minutes until light golden brown in color.
  • Then add milk and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally so that the vermicelli does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Then lower the flame and simmer for 10 mins or till the milk slightly thickens.
  • Add sugar, saffron syrup, cardamom powder and mix well. Boil for 8-10 minutes or till vermicelli cooks completely.
  • Next add roasted dry nuts in the pan and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat for another 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat.
  • Finally, serve Sheer Khurma with hot or chilled.
