Sheer Khurma

🇮🇳 Indian

Eid sheer khurma, vermicelli in saffron milk with dates and nuts. Festival sweetness, made the slow way. Plate in petit-four pieces with tea or as prasad.

Prep 25 min Cook 43 min Serves 4 Hard

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugarto taste
  • Vermicelli1 cup
  • Golden Raisins2 tbsp
  • Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered
  • Green Cardamom4, ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Measure everything before lighting the flame; there is no pause button mid-cook.

  2. 2

    Put the vermicelli and milk on a steady medium flame and commit to stirring — sweets test your patience.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

  4. 4

    Add the golden raisins, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.

  5. 5

    Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
