With Eid coming near, today we are sharing one of our favourite Eid special dessert recipes, which goes by the name Sheer kurma. Out of all the milky desserts that we have tried and loved, this one stays right at the top of our favourites for being so creamy and light at the same time.
Sheer kurma recipe which also goes by the name of sheer korma or sheer khurma can be made really easily once you have collected all the essential materials. To make this milky dessert quickly, we will suggest you to soak the almonds and dry dates, beforehand, so that it can enrich the taste and give you the desired texture of the dessert recipe.
Making this dish is a simple task. Boil the milk and pressure cook the rice. To give this dessert a smooth texture, grind the rice with milk after boiling it. Add sugar and all the essential ingredients and fry the dry fruits in ghee before adding it to the kurma.
The taste of this particular dessert can be compared to a gastronomical bliss. Dry fruits fried in ghee does not only contribute to the texture of the dish but also makes it a royal dish, a classic Mughlai dessert that will make you go back in time.
