Sheer khurma is a very similar recipe to mava kheer but khurma has its own delicacy. My maid is Muslim and before the preparation of this recipe, I ask her for the authentic recipe prepared in their homes. she is so humble lady as she shared not only the recipe but also a lot of tips. she even demonstrated the recipe to me:) So yeah, This post is for her too 🙂
Preparation of sheer khurma is very simple. Naylon or brown vermicelli is used here. Rember this recipe is a full of dry fruits so use as per your choice. however, I am using almonds, pistachios, cashews, chironji, raisins, walnuts, and dates. I am using fresh Zargarzadeh dates here because they are soft and helps to make the milk creamy. additionally, in this recipe I have used homemade condensed milk in this recipe.
This recipe is an excellent dessert to be made in winters because this is a full of dryfruits. sheer kurma tastes best when serves warm or hot.
Tips To Make Perfect Sheer Khurma At Home:
- It is always best to use full cream/fat milk to make any rich and creamy Indian dessert. The cream of the milk really gives a nice texture to the pudding. The same rule applies to the sheer korma as well.
- In an authentic sheer korma recipe, nylon vermicelli is used. And the taste of kheer prepared with that variety of vermicelli is distinct. In case, nylon vermicelli is not available use the regular one.
- Roasting seviyan and dry fruits for the korma is an essential step in the recipe. But both the things need not be roasted for a very long time. Once they turn golden brown in colour transfer to a plate and set aside. Hence, continuously stir the vermicelli and dry fruits while roasting. They do not take more than 5 minutes in total to get roasted.
- If you are adding dates in the sheer korma then it is best to adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. I usually, taste the milk for sweetness before adding the sugar. If dates are not available then sweeten the korma with sugar only.
- Last but not the least, seviyan kheer can be served warm or chilled. If you are planning to serve it chilled, transfer the pudding to an earthen bowl, garnish with toasted dry fruits and rose petals, and keep in the fridge for 2 – 3 hours. Bring it out just before serving.

I’ve never tried this dessert but it sounds delicious Priya!
Tempting and irresistible recipe!
Love sweet dessert soups. Love the texture contrast too with the nuts and the creaminess of the milk and condensed milk. I usually have sweet dessert soups warm. What is your preference?
yum! i think i’ve had a less spiced version of this, but this version sounds really tasty too (:
The sheer khurma looks heavenly!!
