Instructions
- Soak dried dates overnight. Then drain in the morning and remove the seed and chop them.
- Add 1 tablespoon ghee to a frying pan and allow it to melt. Add dry dates and saute for a minute.
- Add almonds, pistachios and raisins. Give it a stir and fry for couple of minutes. Take out and reserve for later.
- In the same frying pan, add the remaining ghee & let it melt.
- Add vermicelli and fry for 2 minutes. Take out and set aside.
- In a wok (or same large pan), add milk and bring it to boil. Then lower heat and cook for 10-15 minutes until milk thickens. Keep stirring at regular intervals. You can use a non-stick pan to avoid the milk from sticking to the pan.
- Add reserved toasted dates (save some for garnish), nuts, sugar, cardamom powder, mix well and cook on medium flame for 4-5 minutes, while stirring at regular intervals.
- Add toasted vermicelli, mix well and cook for 6-8 minutes until desired consistency. However turn off the flame just before you see the perfect consistency, as sheer khurma thickens as it cools.
- Garnish with roasted nuts, dried rose petals & serve!
Notes
- Consistency: This sheer khurma thickens quickly once it cools down. So add more milk and adjust consistency as needed.
- Milk: I highly recommend using whole milk to get the thick consistency. You can also add condensed milk or Mawa to get a richer pudding.
- Nuts: Don't shy about the amount of nuts to add, which makes this dessert so rich and delicious. And don't skip roasting the nuts. It helps to release their flavor.
- Dates: If you are in a hurry or don't have dry dates, then you can use fresh Medjool dates too. I have tried with that and it works perfectly. You can also make this shir kurma without dates. Add some more sugar to get the right sweetness.
