Sheer Korma is a special and delicious dish, traditionally served on the two Muslim Eids, Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. This simple dish is an advanced version of Vermicelli noodles (Seviyan). Sheer Khurma is prepared with some very easily available ingredients and is equally famous among children and adults.
Ingredients
- Vermicelli – 1 packet
- Whole milk – 1 gallon
- Sugar – 1 cup
- Whole cardamom pods – 20 cloves
- Cardamom powder – ½ teaspoon
- Almond – 1 cup
- Fresh cream – ½ cup
- Saffron strands – ½ teaspoon
- Charoli nuts – 3 tablespoons
- Light brown raisins – ½ cup
- Rose water – ½ teaspoon
- Butter – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Place the butter on a non-sticking frying pan and set it on your stove over a medium heat.
- Let the butter melt completely and add in Vermicelli fry until lightly brown.
- Continue frying until the butter absorbs into the vermicelli.
- Now, add in ¼ cup of sugar and mix well for few minutes.
- Pour in whole milk and continue stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Stir in whole cardamom, raisins, and almonds.
- Add the remaining sugar, cashews and pistachios into the vermicelli-mixture.
- Now, reduce the heat of the stove and let the sheer korma boil for few more seconds, until thicken well and the milk is halved.
- Speedily pour in the rose water, charoli and fresh cream.
- Now, cover the pan properly and let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove Sheer Korma from heat, pour into a large serving bowl and garnish with crushed cardamom and saffron strands.
