Ingredients:
- 500 ml milk, approx 3 cups full fat organic milk
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 1 to 1.5 tbsp sugar or as required ( the dates and raisins add a lot of sweetness to the milk, so add sugar accordingly.)
- ½ cup broken seviyan/whole wheat vermicelli
- 7-8 cashews, chopped
- 8-9 almonds, sliced
- 8-9 unsalted pistachios, sliced
- 8-9 dates seedless, chopped
- 4 cardamoms, crushed to a powder in a mortar-pestle.
- 1 tbsp golden raisins
- ½ to 1 tsp rose water.
Method
Heat the milk, sugar, saffron and cardamom powder in a heavy bottomed pan; stir the mixture well until all the sugar dissolves completely.
Add in the roasted vermicelli and simmer the mixture in the milk until the vermicelli is cooked. Once the vermicelli is cooked stir in the dates, pistachios and raisins and simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes.
If the sheer korma is too thick, stir in a little water or milk and adjust the sugar levels according to your taste.
Turn off the heat and serve hot or cold as a dessert for the festival of Id or a party with friends.
