Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
- 100 grams Vermicelli
- 1 liters Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Sugar
- 10 pieces Dates (pitted and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Cashews
- 2 tablespoons Almonds (blanched and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Golden raisins
- 5 pieces Green cardamom pods
- 0.5 teaspoons Saffron strands
- 1 teaspoons Rose water
Instructions
Heat 3 tablespoons of ghee in a deep pan over medium heat.
Add the green cardamom pods and sauté for a minute until aromatic.
Break the vermicelli into smaller pieces and add them to the pan. Toast the vermicelli in the ghee, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
Pour in 1 liter of whole milk and bring it to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, allowing the vermicelli to soften and the milk to slightly thicken.
Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves completely.
Stir in the chopped dates, cashews, almonds, pistachios, and golden raisins. Let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the saffron strands to the sheer korma for a rich aroma and beautiful color.
Turn off the heat and mix in 1 teaspoon of rose water.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional nuts or saffron strands on top.
