Sheer Khurma Recipe is an Eid special sweet. Sheer Khurma literally means "milk with dates" in Urdu and is a festival vermicelli pudding prepared by Muslims all across the world. It is a traditional Muslim dessert for celebrations. 'Sheer' is Persian for milk and 'Khurma' is Persian for dates. This dish is made from dried dates.
This special sweet contains lots of milk, dry fruits and the main ingredient in the sheer khurma recipe is Seviyan which is an Urdu term for vermicelli. The sweet is incomplete without seviyan or vermicelli. This special dish is served on the morning of Eid day in the family after the Eid prayer as breakfast, and throughout the day to all the visiting guests. The word is spelt sometimes as sheer kurma or sheer korma or sheer qorma but it is actually spelt as Sheer Khurma.
As soon as the month of Ramadan ends every Muslim family eagerly waits to make this dish and relish it during eid - ul- Fitr. Not only during Eid but I usually prefer preparing it during weekends too as my family loves to eat this delicious dessert. I cannot imagine Eid without Sheer Khurma It is very popular in Asian countries and is also a very rich Mughlai cuisine dessert. Apart from occasions, this dish is best when relished during winters as it gives much warmth to our bodies.Once the dish is tasted we always feel like having it again and again and it is a favourite among the kids as it contains lots of milk.

Tip for Slicing Dry Fruits For Sheer Khurma
Slice the dry fruits after blanching or soaking them well. The dry fruits look good and taste good with fine slicing.
