Sevai Sheer Korma

Sevai Sheer Korma, a festive and delightful Indian dessert, features vermicelli (sevai) cooked in a rich and creamy milk base flavored with nuts, spices, and a touch of sweetness. This recipe showcases high-quality ingredients and highlights Jyoti Foods for a truly special Sevai Sheer Korma experience.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup thin vermicelli (sevai)
• 4 cups whole milk (full fat for a richer taste)
• ¾ cup sugar (or adjust to your sweetness preference)
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 2 pods JF Green Cardamom / Chhoti Elaichi 
• ¼ cup chopped JF california almonds / badaam
• ¼ cup chopped JF whole cashews / kaaju
• ¼ cup JF green raisins / kishmish
• ¼ cup chopped dried dates
• 2 tablespoons JF salted pistachios / pista (for garnish)

Instructions:

• Roast the Vermicelli (Optional): Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add the vermicelli and roast for a few minutes until lightly golden brown. This step enhances the flavor and texture of the vermicelli (but can be skipped if desired).
• Bring Milk to a Boil: In a large pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
• Add Sugar: Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and add the sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
• Simmer the Milk: Continue simmering the milk, stirring occasionally, to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pot.
• Incorporate the Vermicelli: When the milk has reduced slightly and thickened a bit, slowly add the roasted (or unroasted) vermicelli. Stir gently to combine and prevent lumping.
• Patience is Key: Continue simmering the milk and vermicelli mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes. The vermicelli should cook through and become soft, while the milk thickens to a creamy consistency.
• Almost There!: If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
• Spice Up the Sweetness: Now's the time for the green cardamom - add a pinch and stir well for a touch of warmth and inviting aroma.
• Nut and Raisin Delight: While the mixture is still simmering, add the chopped almonds, cashews, raisins, and chopped dates. Stir gently to combine and allow them to soften slightly in the hot milk.
• Garnish and Serve!: Turn off the heat and ladle the Sevai Sheer Korma into bowls. Garnish with additional chopped nuts for a touch of elegance. Serve warm or chilled, according to your preference.

Tips:

• Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sugar.
• You can experiment with other dried fruits like chopped apricots or figs.
