Sheer Khurma — A Delicacy of Royalty

The Sheer Khurma is a dish from Afghanistan that is mainly cooked during Eid by Muslims. Unlike the other desserts, which also use milk and vermicelli, the Sheer Khurma is in a class of its own as it is thicker, richer, and delicious.

Sheer Khurma literally means "date milk," as Sheer means milk and Khurma means dates in the Persian language (farsi). Making Sheer Khurma is pretty easy. Sheer Khurma is garnished with nuts, dates, the sweetness, and the wholesome rich and creamy dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 1 litre whole milk

  • 2 tbsp ghee

  • ½ cup of Mawa (Khova), or sweetened condensed milk

  • Assorted nuts and dried fruits.

  • 5-7 large dates chopped

  • 4 tbsp Sugar

  • 1 cup vermicelli (broken)

  • 1-2 teaspoon of rosewater 

  • ½ cardamom for flavouring

  • Saffron (preferred)

Methods to prepare:

  1. On medium heat, heat the ghee. Once it is hot, add nuts, dates, and dried fruits to the pan.

  1. Cook until a golden brown colour appears. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.

  1. Now add the vermicelli to the pan and roast them for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown.

  1. Add khoya and roast for another 2 minutes.

  1. Add milk to the pan and keep stirring.

  1. Raise the temperature to medium-high and let the milk boil. Keep stirring to prevent the vermicelli from sticking to the pan.

  1. Once the milk boils, reduce the heat to medium and allow it to boil for another 6-8 minutes.

  1. After allowing it to boil for 6–8 minutes, the milk will start to thicken. Add the sugar now and mix well.

  1. Now add the nuts and mix.

  1. Add rose water and cardamom powder and mix

  1. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and mix

Now you can serve the delicious sheer khurma chilled or warm.
