Sheer Khurma (Sweet Vermicelli Pudding) Recipe
Sheer Khurma/Kurma is a Persian term for Milk with Dates or I should say it's an Urdu term, from my friend only I get to know the importance of Dates in the holy month of Ramzan and it is really auspicious to make Sheer Khurma on the day of Eid. But I love this dessert because of it's simplicity and delicate taste, there is no complicated process to prepare it yet it has that perfect Indian Dessert taste.
