Sheer Khurma- A delicious creamy Vermicelli and milk dessert – Eid special

Sheer Khorma or Sheer Khurma is a Rich mughlai dessert made with fine vermicelli ,nuts and milk .Its a must have dessert for Muslims on the occasion of EID. The word Sheer stands for milk in Sanskrit and Persian and khurma means -dates.

The consistency of Sheer khurma is not as thick as kheer ,its on thinner side as compared to kheer so you can drink it . As it is specially made during festival so its a  rich dessert ,a good quantity of nuts are added in it in which dates and chironji/chiroli are a must in it.

There are many versions of making sheer khurma with just little variations .I have used fine roasted vermicelli to make this ,but then again just roasted them in ghee just to enhance the flavor,as they are already roasted so no need to roast for too long ,but if you are using the plain one then roast till they become golden in color .

For making Sheer khurma first the milk have to boiled for few minutes then all the nuts and vermicelli are roasted separately in ghee to enhance the flavor, then the roasted vermicelli is cooked in milk and after some time sugar and nuts are added in it.

you can use either fresh dates or soaked pitted dry dates in it  but don’t skip it as addition of dates gives sheer korma a very sweet flavor and color,but if you have fussy eaters at home then can grind dates and add the pulp.

You can serve it on any festive occasion and in any season, can serve hot or cold ,taste great both ways.You can garnish Sheer Khurma with silvar foil/vark,sliced pistachio and saffron strands to make it a festive special dish.

I love to make different types of kheer and have shared the recipes of –

  • Chawal ki kheer,
  •  Daliya kheer  
  • Bottle gourd/lauki ki kheer 
  • mango sevai halwa
  • Phool makhana kheer
  • Paneer ki kheer
