Sheer Khurma Recipe

Sheer Khorma

The Sheer Khurma Recipe is a popular sweet dish recipe for all seasons. The main ingredients in the Sheer Khurma Recipe are milk and Vermicelli. It is usually cooked for parties and is a specialty in our house at Eid festivals. Elders and children equally like eating it after lunch or dinner and sometimes even at breakfast. Other festival foods such as Biryani and Korma usually precede it.

Vermicelli are of many kinds some are thick and light brown others are thin and dark brown. For sheer khurma we choose thin and brown ones  the thicker ones do not mix well with milk and it does not make good sheer khurma.
