Eid is just around the corner, and it’s time to get ready for some mouth-watering treats! In nearly every country across the world, an Eid feast consists of a meat and rice dish like biryani or pulao, followed by a sweet dish, usually based on milk. And this is the bare minimum! Whatever the case, dessert is something that is most certainly prepared, sometimes before the main course so that it gets time to chill. Today, we’re featuring one such dessert, Sheer Khurma – a rich vermicelli pudding. So this Eid, let your family and guests enjoy a refreshing treat on this special day!

Sheer Khurma Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/4 cup fine vermicelli
• 1/4 cup chopped dates
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts of your choice
• 2 teaspoon ghee
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
• Dried rose petals to garnish

Method:

1. Heat ghee in a wok or thick bottom pan. Add chopped nuts and raisins and fry till the aroma rises, but be careful not to burn them. Remove and keep aside.

2. Add vermicelli to the same pan. Roast on a low flame for few seconds. Remove and keep aside.

3. Next add the chopped dates to the pan and stir fry them for about a minute or so. Remove and keep aside.

4. Pour the milk into the pan and let it boil. Put in the fried dates and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

5. As the dates cook and get softer, the milk changes color and consistency. At this stage add the roast vermicelli and stir. Simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the vermicelli is well cooked.

6. Finally, toss in the fried nuts followed by the crushed cardamom. Give a quick stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

7. Turn off the flame and garnish with dried rose petals. Serve hot or chilled.

Don’t know if you noticed, but this dessert recipe does not have any sugar! It’s sweetened with one of the best natural sweeteners – dates. It adds not just sweetness, but loads of iron and other nutrients as well. Roasting the nuts and vermicelli lends the dish a distinct nutty flavor and bite – the perfect end for a delicious feast!
