Sheer Khurma—Eid Special Sweet Semai Recipe

Eid begins with the early morning special eid namaz (prayers), followed by breaking the month-long fasting period with sheer khurma. Sewai (or sev/semai), along with an assortment of dried fruits and nuts, is boiled in milk to produce this rich pudding.

Our sheer khurma is of ‘drinkable’ consistency, although some people prefer it thicker, and we like it best hot (it’s slurpable!). If you are making this recipe, try getting roasted sewai, rather than using the glassy vermicelli. Some viewers might not be familiar with a few of the fruits/nuts we’ve used, such as charoli seeds and kharak (dried dates), but we promise you they are easily available in local markets, especially around this time of year, and it will be well worth the effort to try and procure them. This Dawoodi Bohra–style sheer khurma is made extra-special with the addition of poppy seeds and grated coconut.
