Ingredients

1/2 cup vermicelli (thin noodles)
1 liter full-fat milk
1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
1/4 cup mixed dry fruits (almonds, cashews, pistachios, raisins)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
2 tablespoons rose water
1 tablespoon chopped dates
1 tablespoon chopped dried figs

Directions

Heat ghee in a pan and add the vermicelli. Roast until it turns golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same pan, add the mixed dry fruits and roast them lightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Once the milk comes to a boil, add the roasted vermicelli and sugar. Stir well and let it simmer on low heat until the vermicelli is cooked and the milk thickens slightly.
Add the roasted dry fruits, chopped dates, chopped dried figs, cardamom powder, and saffron strands (if using). Mix well and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
Finally, add the rose water and give it a gentle stir. Turn off the heat and let the Sheer Khurma cool down slightly before serving.
Sheer Khurma can be served warm or chilled, according to your preference. Garnish with additional dry fruits before serving if desired.
Serve this delicious and creamy Sheer Khurma as a delightful dessert during festive occasions or special gatherings.
