With Eid-ul-Fitr being coming in 15 days, I thought of sharing a recipe I learnt from my Mami, and that is Shemai Barfi. The name might strike strange to you at first but yes Shemai can be cooked as a barfi sort of dessert with the same ingredients we use for regular Jorda Shemai. I hope you will enjoy being on the journey of going through my recipe and will give it a try soon , who knows, may be this Eid!
Shemai Barfi
Ingredients:
1. Vermicelli (Shemai)- 1 1/2 package
2. Ghee/Butter- 1 cup
3. Condensed milk (Full fat)- 1 can
4. Nuts of your choice- I prefer Pista & Almonds- 1/4 cup each, to garnish
Process:
1. First break the vermicelli in small pieces (crush them but do not make a powder out of it, haha!)
2. Then roast the vermicelli in a dry pan until it takes the golden color. Now keep it aside.
3. In the same pan, heat the ghee/oil (ghee is better for flavor). Then put the vermicelli back in the pan and give it a gentle stir. Let the ghee well coat the vermicelli in a medium flame.
4. Now pour the condensed milk and make sure you give it a good stir quickly as the condensed milk will tend to thicken and clot the vermicelli quicker than you think. Mix it well and make sure the heat is low.
5. Now place the vermicelli on a baking tray or a flat surface. Sprinkle the nuts and cut the square or triangle pieces while it is warm through a sharp knife. Rest it for 30 minutes and it should be ready to serve in no time.
*For round shape, take a mini dessert cup, pour a bit of vermicelli from the pan right after mixing the condensed milk, wait a minute and invert the cup on a plate. Then sprinkle the nuts!
Serve- 15-20 people. You can store it up to 1-2 days because later on the condensed milk tends to crystalize and it doesn't taste great like the day 1.
Enjoy!
