About Sheer khurma

Sheer Khurma is a traditional festive dessert rooted in South Asian and Persian cuisine, often enjoyed during Eid celebrations. Translating to "milk with dates," it consists of fine vermicelli noodles cooked in rich, creamy milk, sweetened with sugar, and adorned with dried fruits like dates, raisins, and pistachios, as well as aromatic spices such as cardamom. Often enriched with ghee or butter, it offers a luxurious texture and flavor. While Sheer Khurma is high in calories due to its dairy base, sugar, and ghee content, it also provides nutritional benefits from the fiber and essential vitamins in the dates and nuts. These ingredients contribute healthy fats, antioxidants, and energy-boosting properties. However, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, given its high sugar and fat content. This decadent dish epitomizes indulgence while showcasing culturally significant ingredients.
