Sheer Khurma
Sheer Khurma is a delicious vermicelli and milk based pudding that is a speciality during Eid. It is rich, decadent and flavored with dried fruit and cardamom.
Ingredients
- 1 litre Whole Milk
- ¼ cup Broken wheat vermicelli (thin)
- ¼ cup Sugar (as per taste)
- 2 tbsp Pistachios (Slivered)
- 4 tbsp Almonds (Slivered)
- 2 tbsp Chironji/ chirogi
- 2 tbsp Dates (optional)
- ½ tsp Green cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp Ghee
Instructions
- In a pan, add milk and let it come to a boil.
- Lower the heat and continue to simmer the milk on low flame, stirring every now and then so that it does not burn.
- Let the milk boil and cook slowly, until it reduces to half the initial quantity.
- While the milk simmers, in another pan, add 1-2 tbsp ghee and lightly roast the vermicelli until fragnant and light golden brown. Be careful to not burn. Remove and keep aside.
- In the same pan, add another tablespoon of ghee and lightly roast the almonds, pistachios and the chironji/ chirogi till you get a fragnant, nutty aroma. Be careful to not burn as well. Remove and keep aside in a bowl.
- Once the milk has reduced, add the sugar and roasted vermicelli and cook for another 10 minutes on low flame, stirring at the same time.
- After the vermicelli has softened and cooked, add the cardamom powder and the ghee roasted dried fruit and nuts.
- Mix everything well and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Switch off and remove from the flame into a serving dish.
- You may serve the sheer khurma either warm or serve chilled.
