Ingredients
Nuts and Dried Fruits
- 200 gm Nuts cashews, chopped (almonds, mixed, pistachios)
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 1/4 cup Dates chopped, pitted
- 1/4 cup Charoli Nuts soaked in hot water and deskinned
Other Ingredients
- 100 gm Vermicelli roasted sewaiyaan
- 1 cup Clarified Butter or unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a large pot or pan, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add the mixed nuts and roast, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. This enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the Sheer Khurma.
- Add the vermicelli to the pot and roast, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden brown. Roasting the vermicelli adds a subtle toasty flavor and prevents it from becoming mushy in the pudding.
- In a separate heavy-bottomed pot, bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the milk reduces to about 3/4 of its original volume. This concentrates the milk's richness and creates a creamier base for the Sheer Khurma.
- Add the roasted nuts, roasted vermicelli, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, raisins, dates, and charoli nuts to the reduced milk. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vermicelli is cooked through and the flavors have melded together. The low heat ensures gentle cooking and prevents the pudding from scorching.
- Serve the Sheer Khurma warm, garnished with extra chopped nuts if desired. It's best enjoyed fresh and warm, when the flavors are at their peak.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Shallow fry the mixed nuts and sewaiyaan in large quantities and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator to save time. When guests arrive, simply boil milk, add the pre-fried ingredients and the remaining components, simmer, and serve.
- The amount of sewaiyaan can be adjusted to your family's preference. Some prefer more in each spoonful, while others prefer less.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, bloom your spices (such as cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon) in the hot ghee or butter before adding the sewaiyaan. This intensifies their aromatic qualities and infuses the dish with deeper flavor.
- If using dates, consider chopping them finely or making a date paste. This will prevent them from becoming overly chewy and distribute their sweetness evenly throughout the sheer khurma.
- Garnish with edible rose petals and a sprinkle of chopped nuts just before serving for an elegant touch and added visual appeal.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover sheer khurma in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
