Ingredients for Sheer Kurma
- 1/2 tin Nestlé MILKMAID
- 4 tbsp Nestlé Everyday Ghee
- 5 cups Nestlé a+ Nourish Milk
- 1/3 cup Thin Vermicelli

How to make Sheer Kurma
- In a pan, heat 2 tbsp Ghee and fry the vermicelli until brown. Keep it aside.
- In a pan, bring milk to boil and add the vermicelli. Simmer until the vermicelli is soft & cooked. Now, add Nestlé MILKMAID, dates and mix it well. Heat this mixture until it thickens. Now transfer this mixture to a bowl.
- Heat remaining ghee (2 tbsp) in a pan and add almonds, cashewnuts, pistachios, chironji and melon seeds. Once the nuts & seeds turn brown, add raisins. Add this over the vermicelli mixture and serve warm.
Tips
- In a matter of seconds, the nuts and dry fruits can get completely burnt. As a result, when frying them, use extra caution. Also, rather than finely slivering them, sliver them thickly. Remove them from the pot as soon as they are light brown, because they will continue to brown in the residual heat.
- Some prefer their sheer khurma in a watery consistency, while others like it thick. By adding more or less milk, you can alter the consistency.
