Sheer Khurma, How to make Sheer Khurma Recipe | Sheer Korma

Chop all the dry fruits, dates and keep ready for the sheer khurma recipe.Break the vermicelli with your hand and place aside.Pour 1 tbsp ghee in a hot pan.Add the ¼th cup of broken vermicelli.Saute for 1-2 mins or until they appear golden brown in color.Remove the sauteed seviyan and place aside.In the same pan add 1 tbsp ghee, along the chopped dry fruits and pitted, chopped dates.Saute them for 2-3 mins. Remove and place aside with the sauteed vermicelli.Heat milk in a saucepan or wide bottomed vessel.Add 3 tbsp sugar or as required. I have added less as the dessert gets sweet with dates and raisins so add sugar accordingly.Allow the milk to come to a boil.Just reduce the heat and allow the milk to thicken.In another bowl mix 1 tbsp hot milk with 2 teaspoon of milk powder with the help of spoon.The mixture should be smooth and free of any lumps.Take one more bowl add one tablespoon of hot milk with 6-7 saffron strands and place aside.Add the sauteed vermicelli in the boiling milk.Add the diluted milk powder mixture and stir nicely.Simmer for 4-5 mins or until the seviyan softens.Once the seviyan softens it would appear like this.Quickly add the sauteed dates and dry fruits.Also pour the saffron infused milk, a pinch of salt if using and 1 teaspoon of rose water/kewra waterSwitch off the gas and don't allow the pudding to cook further. Lastly sprinkle ¼th teaspoon of nutmeg and cardamom powder. Mix all nicely also add more milk if you like thinner consistency.Serve sheer khurma hot or chilled as a dessert.
