On this occasion of Eid, here I am sharing Eid special traditional recipe. Sheer Khurma – Sheer Khorma, is an authentic vermicelli dessert made by milk, dates, plenty of nuts and sugar.

Each house has its unique way of preparing this authentic Eid special dish. Sheer Khurma is incomplete without dates, can be added in any form. To enhance its taste I have added cardamom powder and saffron to it. While garnishing adds some rose petals.
