EiD SpEcIaL ShEeR KhUrMa

Hello friend,

        I could not write a blog because of Eid yesterday. Because I wanted to make Sheer Khurma yesterday. I am posting some photos and videos of that substance on my blog. Sheer Khurma could be a rich vermicelli pudding made with milk, immeasurable nuts, dates and sugar!

        The dish literally means milk with dates. Its often made during Eid in the Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan and also parts of central Asia. Eid festivities are reasonably incomplete until and unless you've got Sheer Khurma!

Ingredients

• 5 cups full-fat milk
• 1/4 cup pistachios
• 1/4 cup Almond
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1/4 cup cashews
• 12 pitted dates
• 3 to 4 Cardamom

Instructions

        Soak Pistachios in warm water for 10 mins. Remove the skin and slice thin. If using whole almonds soak them in hot water for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and slice thin. Slice cashews and dates. Heat ghee in the Instant Pot or a medium pot on stovetop. Add almonds, pistachios, cashews, and dates. Roast for 2 to 3 minutes. Add raisins, vermicelli, coconut and poppy seeds. Mix well and roast for another 1 to 2 minutes as coconut and poppy seeds turn light brown Add 3 cups of milk, sugar, and saffron and give a quick stir.If using Instant Pot: close the lid with the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on Manual(low) for 5 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally.If using stove top: cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until the sheer khurma comes to a rolling boil and the vermicelli is cooked soft.  Stir in vanilla. Add additional 1 to 2 cups of milk to bring the sheer khurma to your desired consistency. Tip: Sheer khurma will continue to thicken as it cools down. So you can also add more milk as needed or just before serving.Bring to the sheer khurma to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Enjoy Sheer Khurma hot or chilled.
