Food is a universal language and a great way for people of different cultures and backgrounds to bond. Marking the end of Ramadan is Eid-al-Fitr, a holiday gathering of families, friends, food and music. Since we are nearing the end of Ramadan, so I decided to make this delicious and tasty sheer khurma as a dessert today. The celebration of Eid is incomplete without sweet, yummy and traditional food prepared and served to the guests and one of those is Sheer Khurma. Sheer Khurma is a rich Mughlai dessert made with roasted vermicilli and roasted dry fruits. Eid-al-Fitr is the event of sweetness, joy and happiness. Eid-al-Fitr is dedicated to the celebration of traditional desserts. The festive season is approaching as Eid-al-Fitr moon is about to sight.
Dessert is mostly referred to a final sweet course that concludes a meal, but those with a serious sweet tooth will agree that anytime is dessert time. Celebrate Eid in a grand way with the royal sheer khurma!!! This aromatic silken pudding finds its origins with the Mughals and in Urdu translates to 'sweetened milk with dried dates and pure ghee/ clarified butter. Recreate this simple and authentic recipe at home and celebrate good times with family and friends.
