Sheer Khurma is not only popular in Pakistan but in Afghanistan, India, and many parts of Central Asia. Irrespective of the community , this rich vermicelli pudding is adopted by Indians and has become a part of many festive celebrations.

Pro Tips and Variations to Sheer Khurma Recipe

  • Milk : Full Fat Cream Milk is recommended for making Sheer Khurma . As fat in the milk adds lots of richness to the dessert. Also I have used Condensed Milk in this recipe , you may skip using condensed milk , if you don’t want to add on richness and extra calories to the dessert. Instead of condensed milk , you can also add khoya / Mawa to make it more tastier and rich. Source : Chef Ranveer Brar
  • Sugar : I have not used Sugar in this sheer khurma recipe as condensed milk adds sweetness , but if you skip condensed milk , then use 1/4 – 1/3 cup of sugar , as this dessert will not be too sweet.
  • Dry Fruits and Nuts : Dates are the most important fruit in this recipe . Use Semi Dry Dates variant for this recipe , soft dates and dry dates are not recommended here. Dry nuts of your choice can be added . Dessicated Coconut adds flavour , but its truly optional.
  • Ghee / Clarified Butter : Adding I TSp of Ghee before boiling milk not only adds richness but avoids scorching of milk from buttom .
  • Vermicelli : Fine Vermicelli also known as Nylon Vermicelli is used in this recipe. Never use regular or thick variant vermicelli to make this recipe.
  • Cloves and Saffron : Both of these ingredients are optional but adding it adds lot of flavours and aroma to the dish.
  • Cardamom and Nutmeg : For flavouring , recommened to use freshly pound cardamom powder. Nutmeg is optional ,as per availability.
  • Serving Suggestions : As this dessert thickens , you can thin out by adding little milk while serving.
