A lovely traditional treat made on the festive season in all Muslim households throughout the Country and many parts of Asia including Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Sheer Khurma or Khorma in Afghan means Milk with Dates. This is how the name goes as. Dates are not added by all but it's best enjoyed with them. I make both with and without them. Try this decadent Dessert loved by everyone for your loved ones and friends alike. Relish this milky extravaganza.
Happy Dessert Time Everyone!

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

45 minutes

1

Bring milk to a rolling boil on a high heat at first and then simmer on a low heat for about 15-20 minutes along with Dates. The longer you simmer, the better. Stir in Sugar and Milkmaid or Condensed milk. It's a rich Dessert and the consistency should not be too watery or too thick. It should be in between. So that we can have it with a spoon. Addition of the Vermicelli depends on one's liking. You can increase or decrease accordingly.
2

Keep it on a low heat until you fry the soaked and slivered nuts. Also add the Saffron strands without fail. For the Charoli seeds, all you have to do is to soak in a separate bowl for 1-2 hours and then just remove the skin with your hands. It will come off very easily. It's completely okay if few seeds remain intact. For the other nuts too, remove the skin and slice to thin slivers.
3

Fry all of them at first in about 3 tablespoon of Clarified Butter or Butter. Remove them onto a plate and keep aside. Add more of Ghee to the pan and fry Vermicelli too until roasted properly with a nice golden colour. The aroma is too tempting indeed.
4

Add these fried nuts and the Vermicelli to the milk and mix well. Adjust Sugar accordingly. Serve with sliced Dates and more of the fried nuts. Keep both the nuts and Vermicelli in airtight containers making them in abundance just to avoid last minute rush on the festive day. This remains fresh in the refrigerator for months together.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
