Sheer - The Traditional Indian Dessert

Hi people !!

So today's post is about food. Yes, because food is such an important part of our lives and food alone has the power to destroy or uplift a mood :)

The food for today is Sheer, a traditional indian dessert cooked whennever there is a joyous occasion or just whenever you feel like having it. Simple! as simple as making this dessert. Here goes the recipe. Gather the below ingredients.

• 1 Litre milk
• 1 cup vermicelli
• half cup brown sugar
• few raisins and sliced almonds and chopped cashews
• thinly sliced coconut
• 2 tbsp custard powder
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• a few drops of kewra essence
• silver foil for garnishing

Boil milk till it is reduced a little. Then add in the brown sugar along with all the dry fruits. Cook well till all the sugar is dissolved completely. Then add in the custard powder mixed with a little milk. Cook and in a few minutes you will see that the milk starts thickening. At this point add the vermicelli in it. Also keep in mind that once this dessert is cooled it will thicken more so keep that in mind and cook till it reaches your desired consistency. After this, turn off the gas take it off the stove and add in the vanilla and the kewra. You can skip either one of the essence. It's upto you. Let it sit at room temperature for a while and then garnish with the silver foil, additional nuts and the coconut slices. Refrigerate and serve chilled.

And this is what you get out of your hard work.

Go ahead, try it and do let is know how it turned out for you.

Till Then...

Much Love
