Sheer Khurma (Vermicelli pudding)
Benetta Lobo
Sheer Khurma is a very simple and delicious dessert. Sheer Khurma is the main dessert dish prepared during Eid. My family really loves this dessert so I make it quite often. This is such a simple and flavourful dessert and can be prepared with your favourite dry fruits and nuts. Dates in one of the important elements of the dish and gives a really nice flavour to the Sheer Khurma. I remember that during Eid in Karachi, our neighbours and friends used to prepare this rich dessert and we used to devour it. So if you are looking for a simple no fail Desi dessert, this is definitely the one. The taste is so rich and flavourful that you and your family/guests will simply love it and want more of it!
