• Step 1: In a pan, heat 2 tbsp Ghee and fry the vermicelli until brown. Keep it aside.
• Step 2: In a pan, bring milk to boil, let it heat on slow flame 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.

Tips to Make Sheer Khurm

• Avoid finely chopping the nuts. Instead, sliver them into thick pieces to prevent them from burning during roasting.
• Use full-fat milk for a rich and creamy Sheer Khurma.
• Take extra care when roasting vermicelli, nuts, and dry fruits. Once they are light brown, quickly remove them from the pan to prevent burning in the residual heat.
• The desired consistency of Sheer Khurma varies among individuals - some prefer it watery, while others like it thick. Adjust the consistency by adding more or less milk according to your liking.
