Sheer Khurma- Ramadan Special

Last Updated on

Today I post Sheer Khurma on the very special
day of Ramadan which is very popular and authentic recipe from Mughal cuisines.
For this recipe, you have to cook fried vermicelli in milk with lots of dry
nuts, cardamom and saffron. It’s a royal treat for the celebration of Eid, Ramadan.
Sheer khorma or Sheer khurma literally “milk
with dates” in Urdu is a festival vermicelli pudding prepared by Muslims on
Eid-ul-Fitr in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. It’s a traditional Muslim
Festive breakfast, and dessert for celebrations. Sheer is Persian for milk and
khurma is Persian for dates. This dish is made from dried date. This special
dish is served on the morning of Eid day in the family after the Eid prayer as
breakfast, and throughout the day to all the visiting guests.
Ramadan is the ninth
month of the Islamic calendar; Muslims worldwide observe this as a month of fasting. This annual observance is regarded as
one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month lasts 29–30 days based on
the visual sightings of the crescent
moon, according to numerous biographical accounts compiled in hadiths. The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic
root ramida or ar-ramad, which means scorching heat or dryness. Fasting is fardh (obligatory) for adult Muslims, except
those who are ill, travelling, pregnant, diabetic or going through menstrual bleeding.
The
Muslim holiday of Eid ul- Fitr, sometimes spelled in
English as Eid al-Fitr, marks the end of Ramadan
and the beginning of the next lunar month called Shawwal in Arabic. This first day of the
following month is declared after another crescent new moon has been sighted or the completion of
30 days of fasting if no visual sighting is possible due to weather conditions.
This first day of Shawwal is called Eid
ul- Fitr. Eid Ul- Fitr may also be a reference towards the
festive nature of having endured the month of fasting successfully and
returning to the more natural disposition of being able to eat, drink and
resume intimacy with spouses during the day.
