Andy,
Here is the recipe for Sheer Khurma
this is a more traditional one ,
Ingredients
200 grams dry vermicelli
1 1/4 cups ghee
100 grams dried dates, soaked overnight, pitted and chopped thin
100 grams almonds, blanched and slivered
100 grams white raisins
100 grams halved cashew nuts
12 cups milk
2 cups cream
3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cardamom powder
Procedure
Pour the ghee in a large pot over a low flame.
Fry the cashew nuts in the ghee until browned.
Turn off the flame and add the raisins.
When the raisins swell up, take both them and the cashews out of the ghee with a spoon and set aside.
Switch the low flame back on and heat the ghee.
Fry the vermicelli in the same ghee, stirring so it turns golden-brown. Watch it carefully so it does not burn.
Pour in the milk.
Add the cashews and raisins back into the mixture.
Add the sliced dates and almonds.
Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the vermicelli starts to get flexible; then add sugar.
Keep on the low flame for another 2 minutes, then add cream and cardamom powder.
Heat just a little longer and mix well.
Serve hot.
Serves 12.
But as i said its a more traditional one,the way i cook Sheer Khurma is really simple,as i don't like ghee or oil in my Sheer Khurma,what i do is i soak almonds and pistachios overnight and boil them in little amount of water in the morning,then i take the skin off of almonds and cut them both in slices,heat up the milk,add vermicelli according to your taste ( if you want it thick add more,if you want it thin add less ) add almonds and pistachios,and let it cook until the vermicelli is soft,then i add sugar per taste,and delicious and simple Sheer Khurma is ready
Enjoy
and do tell me how you liked it.And yeah i almost forgot,you can add a tiny bit of Saffron also if you like the aroma and flavor of it.
Zaini.
P.S Eid mubarak to you too Emby
