Sheer Khurma- Ramadan Special

Today I post Sheer Khurma on the very special day of Ramadan which is very popular and authentic recipe from Mughal cuisines. For this recipe, you have to cook fried vermicelli in milk with lots of dry nuts, cardamom and saffron. It’s a royal treat for the celebration of Eid, Ramadan. Sheer khorma or Sheer khurma literally “milk with dates” in Urdu is a festival vermicelli pudding prepared by Muslims on Eid-ul-Fitr in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. It’s a traditional Muslim Festive breakfast, and dessert for celebrations. Sheer is Persian for milk and khurma is Persian for dates. This dish is made from dried date. 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.
Ramadanis theninth monthof theIslamic calendar;Muslimsworldwide observe this as a month offasting.This annual observance is regarded as one of theFive Pillars of Islam.The month lasts 29–30 days based on the visual sightings of thecrescent moon, according to numerous biographical accounts compiled inhadiths.The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic rootramidaorar-ramad,which means scorching heat or dryness.Fasting is fardh(obligatory) for adult Muslims, except those who are ill, travelling, pregnant,diabeticor going throughmenstrual bleeding. The Muslim holiday ofEid ul- Fitr, sometimes spelled in English asEid al-Fitr, marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the next lunar month calledShawwalin Arabic. This first day of the following month is declared after another crescentnew moonhas been sighted or the completion of 30 days of fasting if no visual sighting is possible due to weather conditions. This first day ofShawwalis calledEid ul- Fitr.Eid Ul- Fitrmay also be a reference towards the festive nature of having endured the month of fasting successfully and returning to the more natural disposition of being able to eat, drink and resume intimacy with spouses during the day.
