Eid is a festival of joy, gratitude, and togetherness. After a month of fasting during Ramadan, families come together to celebrate Eid with prayers, laughters and of course, delicious food. One dish holds a special place on every Eid table is Sheer Khurma, a rich and creamy dessert that symbolizes warmth, hospitality, and celebration.
At Shreeji Food, we believe that festive cooking should be both authentic and easy. Today, we bring you a simple yet traditional Sheer Khurma recipe that will add sweetness to your Eid celebrations.
What is Sheer Khurma?
Sheer Khurma is a classic Eid dessert made with milk, vermicelli, dates, nuts, and aromatic spices. The name comes from Persian where Sheer means milk and Khurma means dates. This luxurious dessert is slowly cooked to create a creamy texture filled with rich flavours from dry fruits and fragrant ingredients.
In many homes, Sheer Khurma is the first dish served on Eid morning to family members and guests. Its comforting taste and festive aroma make it beloved tradition across generations.
To Prepare this delicious Sheer Khurma You Will Need:
· Full cream milk
· Vermicelli
· Dates
· Ghee
· Almonds
· Cashews
· Pistachios
· Raisins
· Sugar
· Cardamom
· Saffron
Steps to Prepare –
1. Roast the vermicelli in ghee until it turns light golden brown. Stir it continuously to prevent burning.
2. In a separate pot, bring the milk to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the flame and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes. This helps the milk thicken and develop a rich flavor.
3. Now add vermicelli into simmering milk. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until the vermicelli becomes soft.
4. Next, add chopped dates, almonds, cashews, pistachios, and raisins.
5. Add sugar, cardamom powder and saffron strands. Mix everything well and let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes. The milk will slowly become creamy and aromatic.
6. Once the dessert reaches your desired consistency, turn off the heat. Garnish with pistachios and almonds for a festive presentation.
Sheer Khurma can be enjoyed warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Many families prefer serving it warm on Eid morning, while chilled Sheer Khurma is refreshing later in the day.
