Sheer Khurma Recipe

Sheer khurma recipe is a delicious dessert traditionally made up of milk, sugar, sevaiya(vermicelli) and dates. Now-a-days some other ingredients are also used in it to make it more flavourful. Sheer khurma is made up of two words Sheer =Milk and khurma =dates.

Sheer khurma is believed to be introduced in India during Mughal rule and now it is popular all over country due to the magnificent taste. It is a popular festival dessert prepared by Muslims on Eid-ul-Fitr and a every day breakfast in Holy Ramzan (Ramadan) days.

In different regions of India it is known with different names sevaiyyan, semiya, sheer qurma, semiya pudding, vermicelli pudding and shir qurma.

In this recipe I have not used sugar. In place of sugar I used dates and condensed milk which adds a creamy texture and adequate sweetness.

Let’s see the recipe !

Ingredients

Milk – 750 ml or 3 cups
Vermicelli/seviyan – 3/4 cup
Ghee – 1  tablespoon
Condensed milk – 4 tablespoon
Almonds, Cashew nuts, Pistachios  – 10 to 12, sliced
Soft Dates – 10, de-seeded, chopped
Cardamom powder – 3/4  teaspoon
Kewra essence or rose water – 1 teaspoon
Saffron strands for garnish

Step by step sheer khurma recipe

Step 1. Heat ghee into a pan, add seviya (vermicelli) and roast till it reaches to mild brown colour. Then keep Aside.

Step 2. Roast cashew nuts, almonds and pistachio in the same pan without adding more ghee. Then keep aside.

Step 3. Place a sauce pan over medium heat and add milk to it. Let the milk come to a boil.

Step 4.When milk starts boiling, add condensed milk and keep the flame to low. Keep stirring in between for avoiding from sticking down to the pan.

Step 5. When the milk gets to nearly 3/4 rth  of its quantity, add seviya into it and cook for 8 to 10  minutes or till they get soften.

Step 6. Add the roasted nuts, soft dates, cardamom powder. Cook for 2 minutes on low by stirring continuously.

Step 7. Turn off the gas. Add kewra essence or rose-water. Then take it out in a dish and garnish with dry fruits and saffron strands. Sheer khurma is ready to serve. You can serve it warm or chilled.
