Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients used in sheer khurma are vermicelli, whole milk, sugar and dates.[4] Depending on the region, cardamom, pistachios, almonds, cloves, saffron, raisins, and rose water are also added.[5]
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Vermicelli are fried in clarified butter.[6] Then milk (sheer) is added and the vermicelli are allowed to cook further.[6] As the mixture thickens, sugar and dates are added along with any other dried fruits.[6] In some areas locals opt to use a higher milk to vermicelli ratio because they prefer a thinner drink like consistency[7]
