The rich and creamy Sheer Khurma is a beautiful dessert that is often made on the occasion of Eid. This vermicelli pudding is full of lots of nuts, raisins, and dates!

It's almost Eid and I couldn't do without sharing this classic Eid dessert on the blog this week. A perfect vermicelli pudding made with whole date milk, lots of nuts, dates, and sugar! The dish literally means palm milk. It is often made during Eid in the Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan, and parts of Central Asia. The joys of Eid are incomplete unless you have whole dates!

Sheer Khurma is a rich and creamy dessert!

• Made with whole milk, which makes it very creamy.
• Full of all nuts and dried fruits like cashews, pistachios, almonds, raisins, and dates!
• Flavored with rose water and cardamom.
• Can be served hot or cold. I personally like it cool.
• Saffron and coconut can also be added to whole dates if you wish. I have not used these ingredients in this recipe.

How to make Sheer Khurma in 2 steps?

1. The most important thing here is to use whole milk. If you use fat-free or 1% milk, the result will not be the same. Use whole milk for this recipe. As it cools, the pudding really thickens, so I recommend adding a little milk before serving. Take care of the amount of sugar in this recipe. Dates and raisins also add sweetness, so start adding 1 teaspoon at a time and then add more as needed.
2. You need to use lots of nuts and nuts on whole dates but the most important is dating. You can't lose it! Add khoya (solid milk powder) to make it more palatable and flavorful. This is optional but recommended. The consistency of whole dates is a personal preference. I like my fat If you prefer thin dates, use only 3/4 cup vermicelli instead of 1 cup as mentioned in the recipe, and use more milk. We hope you enjoy this Eid Special Sheer Khurma Recipe. Happy Eid to all of You!
