4. Next, add the finely chopped dates and mixed dry fruits to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5. Sprinkle in the cardamom powder and add a few saffron strands for a touch of color and a subtle, aromatic flavor.
6. Cook the mixture on low heat for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
7. Serve the Sheer Kurma hot or chilled, as per your preference. It can be garnished with a few extra chopped dry fruits or a sprinkle of cardamom powder before serving.
