Serves: 5-6
 
Ingredients
  • 1 Liter Full Fat Milk
  • ¼th Cup=60gms Sugar
  • 30gms thin Seviyan (Vermicelli)
  • Ghee
  • 10 Almonds-soaked overnight
  • 6 Dry Dates-soaked overnight
  • 10-12 Cashew Nuts-soaked overnight
  • 1 tbsp Pistachios-unsalted, soaked overnight
  • 1 tbsp Charoli/Chironji
  • 1 tbsp Raisins
  • 2 tbsp dry Coconut-thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp Cardamom Powder-coarsely crushed
  • 1 tbsp Kewra Water/Screw Pine Water
  • Few Saffron Strands
Instructions
  1. In a large and heavy bottom vessel, boil Milk. As Milk begins to boil, give it a stir. Simmer on low heat and stir intermittently.
  2. Meanwhile, we will fry Nuts in Ghee. Add 1 tbsp Ghee in a Pan. Add Almonds, Cashew Nuts, Pistachios, Dry dates-sliced into lengths. Ensure you remove skins off Almonds and Pistachios before slicing. Add Charoli and dry Coconuts. Add 1-2 tbsp Ghee. We are not frying Raisins now. We will fry it separately.
  3. Fry all the ingredients. We have been frying for 3 mins. Remove from the Pan
  4. Add 1 tsp Ghee. Add Raisins and fry. As raisins become puffed remove it from the Pan
  5. Now, we will roast seviyan, add 1 tbsp Ghee in the pan. We are using thin seviyan for Sheer Khurma. You must ensure that you roast it on low heat. Roasting on high heat may burn the seviyan. We will roast until it becomes evenly brown in color
  6. Seviyan turns brown in color on low heat in about 5 mins. Remove from pan. Dry nuts and Seviyan are roasted and ready. Let's check the milk
  7. Milk has been simmering on low heat for about 12 mins. Its quantity has reduced now and it has thickened (almost ¾th). Add Sugar and simmer for another 2 mins so that sugar gets dissolved
  8. Now, add dry nuts, raisins and seviyan. Mix well and cook for few mins on low heat.
  9. We have cooked Sheer Khurma for about 5 mins. This is the right consistency. It must not get too thick. Add coarsely grounded cardamom powder and saffron strands. Mix well and simmer for a min
  10. Add Kewra water (Screw Pine water). Switch off the heat and keep Sheer Khurma covered
