Recipe Overview
Overview
Sheer Khurma, a beloved Kashmiri dessert, is a delightful way to break your fast during Ramadan. This sweet dish combines vermicelli with creamy milk, creating a comforting texture that is both rich and satisfying. The addition of dry fruits like almonds, cashews, and raisins not only enhances the flavor but also adds a nutritious element to the dish.
The preparation begins with roasting the dry fruits in ghee, which brings out their natural flavors. The vermicelli is then roasted until golden, adding a lovely nutty aroma to the dish. As the milk simmers, saffron is introduced, infusing the mixture with a beautiful color and unique taste. The final touch is a sprinkle of cardamom powder, which elevates the dessert to a whole new level.
Sheer Khurma is not just a dish; it’s a tradition that brings families together during the holy month. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with loved ones, this dessert is sure to leave a lasting impression. Its sweet, creamy profile makes it a perfect treat for Iftar, and I encourage everyone to try making it at home. You won’t be disappointed!
