Our Eid festivals are incomplete without Sher Khurma, this is a rich dessert made from Vermicelli and dry dates. My Mother was an expert in Sher Khurma making. Now I also am following her recipe.

Qalaqand/ burfi/ condensed milk | 1/2 cup |
Almond and pistachio | 1/2 cup |
Coconut ,grated | 3/4 cup |
Raisins | 1/4 cup |
Dry dates | as needed |
METHOD:
- In a pot add ghee and cardamom, let it crackle then add vermicelli.
- Fry for few seconds. Add milk and sugar. Now leave it on low flame. Keep on stirring.
- Milk will reduce in quantity then add condensed milk or qalaqnd. If you are using qalaqnd or condensed milk then adjust sugar according to your taste.
- Soak almonds and pistachio n hot water and remove skin. Chop them fine.
- Grate coconut with grater. ( do not use desiccated coconut , it will not give a required taste)
- Add coconut and raisins in the end and mix well.
