Sheer Khurma / Vermicelli Payasam

After Eid blast, am back with an amazing sweet dish, which is not only easy but tasty and a mouth-watering preparation. At home this is made in the morning on the day of Eid, as it can be served to the guests who come home to greet, and also to other friends and neighbours. Along with this we make paal payasam or ada pradhaman or parippu payasam as well.


Sheer is milk and khurma is dates. In this dessert, lots of nuts are used but I have used only very few dates as my husband doesn't like to bite the date pieces. During this Ramadan, this dessert was in my mind and got a chance to try it on the Eid day. Since I have never posted a dessert dish which is this easy, but delicious. I like Sheer Khurma to be thick so I have added milkmaid. My kid who doesn't like milk at all, loved this.




Ingredients:
  1. Vermicelli- 1 Cup
  2. Sugar- ¼ Cup
  3. Milk Maid- ½ tin
  4. Ghee- 2 tbsp
  5. Milk- 1ltr
  6. Cardamom Powder- 2 tsp
  7. Dry Dates- 3 nos
  8. Almonds Flakes- ¼ Cup
  9. Cashew (chopped)- ¼ Cup
Method:

  1. Heat a tbsp of ghee and roast the nuts till golden brown, Keep it aside. In the same bowl heat another tbsp of ghee and roast the vermicelli for 4- 5 minutes.
  2. Heat milk in a bowl. When it boils lower the flame and stir it for another 10- 15 minutes.
  3. Add the sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well. In this add the vermicelli and stir well for another 15 minutes.
  4. Soak the dates in hot water for some time and then remove the seeds. Chop them into small pieces and keep it aside.
  5. At last add the milkmaid and mix well for 5 minutes. Garnish with the nuts and chopped dates and serve hot.

    My little one was waiting to taste....

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
