sheer khurma recipe | sheer korma | how to make sheer khurma with detailed photo and video recipe. a creamy and rich vermicelli based milk pudding prepared mainly muslims on eid ul-fitr or ramadaan month. the main ingredients for this classic dessert is vermicelli, dates, milk, sugar and other dry fruits. the dish is mainly served after the morning eid prayer as breakfast because of the rich and healthy nutrients it has to offer.
the recipe for sheer khurma is very simple and there are many striking similarities with the traditional semiya kheer recipe. the recipe for sheer korma begins with the roasting of vermicelli with ghee before using it in the desert. note that the vermicelli used in this recipe is slightly different from the vermicelli kheer recipe and it is more on a thinner side. further the sheer khurma contains more dry fruits and is prepared more rich and creamy. the whole idea is to get all the necessary energy and nutrients after the entire fasting episode. also i have added the khewra water or rose essence which makes it more flavoured and fills it with aroma.
furthermore, i would like to highlight my other tips and suggestions while preparing sheer khurma recipe. firstly, as i mentioned previously the vermicelli is slightly different as compared to sevai kheer. but if you do not have access to it, you can also use the normal vermicelli as well. secondly, all the dry fruits added in this recipe are important and it is highly recommended to add it. however if you are running short with one or 2 than you can skip it while preparing. lastly, shor kurma can be either served hot and cold, but my personal preference would be to serve it as a cold dessert. also, during summer it may get stale quickly and hence refrigerate it after preparing it.
finally i would like to highlight my other desserts recipes collection with this post of sheer khurma recipe. it includes recipes like, vermicelli kheer, rice kheer, paneer kheer, basundi, rabdi or rabri, milk powder rasmalai, bread rasmalai, sandesh, milk cake, rasgulla and chum chum recipe, further i would like to highlight my other related recipes collection like,
