Sheer Khurma
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.

- Salta pinch
- Ghee3 tbsp

- Sugarto taste
- Vermicelli1 cup
- Golden Raisins2 tbsp
- Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered
- Green Cardamom4, ground
Instructions
- 1
Measure everything before lighting the flame; there is no pause button mid-cook.
- 2
Put the vermicelli and milk on a steady medium flame and commit to stirring — sweets test your patience.
- 3
Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.
- 4
Add the golden raisins, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.
- 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.
