Ingredients For Sheer Kurma

• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 cup broken vermicelli
• 10-15 chopped cashews
• 10-12 chopped almonds
• 10-12 chopped pistachios

• 1.5 teaspoon rose water
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

Sheer Kurma Recipe

Step 1: In a pan, melt some ghee over medium heat. Once the ghee is hot, add in some chopped nuts, raisins, and dates.
Step 2: Cook for about a minute or two, until the nuts start smelling nice and turn lightly brown. You'll also notice the raisins getting plumper. Take the nuts out of the pan and put them aside for now.
Step 3: Next, add the vermicelli to the same pan and stir well. Cook the vermicelli for about three minutes, until it starts to turn a light golden brown colour.
Step 4: Now you can add the khoya (if using) and cook for another minute or two. Feel free to skip this step if you prefer. Next, pour in the milk and stir everything together. Turn the heat up to medium-high and wait for the milk to boil, stirring frequently to prevent the vermicelli from sticking to the pan.
Step 5: Once the milk starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it continue boiling for about 8 minutes.
Step 6: After 8 minutes, you'll notice the milk has reduced a bit and thickened slightly. Now's the time to add the sugar - stir well to combine. Then, add the fried nuts back into the pan and mix everything together.
Step 7: Next, add the rose water and cardamom powder, and stir well to combine. Then, cook for another 2-3 minutes on low-medium heat. Finally, turn off the heat.
Step 8: Serve Sheer Kurma warm or chilled after refrigerating.
