Instructions:

1. Preparation: Soak the dates in warm milk for about 30 minutes to soften them. Soak the nuts in water for a few hours, then peel and slice them. If using saffron, soak the saffron strands in 1-2 tablespoons of warm milk.

3. Cooking Milk: In the same pan, pour the milk and let it come to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens a bit.

6. Add Dates & Nuts: Stir in the soaked dates, fried nuts, and raisins. Mix well.
7. Final Touch: If you're using saffron, add the saffron-infused milk at this point for a rich flavor and color. Also, add rose water if you're using it.
8. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat.
9. Serve the Sheer Khurma hot or chilled, garnished with some more nuts if you prefer.
