First, soak the saffron strands in 2-3 tbsp of milk and keep it aside.
Add some ghee to a pan. Once the ghee is hot, add roughly chopped almonds, cashew, pistachios, and Chironji. Fry for 2-3 mins on low flame until light golden brown. Remove it on a plate. (Note- keep stirring properly while frying because the nuts get burned in just a few seconds.)
Add 1 tbsp ghee to a pan, and add crushed vermicelli. Fry them on medium heat until it turns golden brown. Keep stirring constantly, while frying to avoid them from burning. Remove it on a plate. (Note- If you are using pre-roasted Vermicelli, then fry only for 40-50 sec, or there is a chance that it can burn. Use very thin Vermicelli for sheer khurma.)
Add 1 Liter of milk, cardamom powder, sugar, and Chowara (dried dates) to the pot and cook it on a medium flame for 20 mins so that the flavour and the colour of the Chowara get mixed properly in the milk, keep stirring the milk while cooking.
As the colour of the milk turns slightly brown, add the roasted Vermicelli, roasted dry fruits, and saffron. Cook it again for 10 mins, till the vermicelli is softened & the sheer khurma turns slightly thick.
This delightful dessert is ready to be served. You can serve hot or chill, as per your preference.
