Sheer khurma is a traditional dessert dish commonly consumed during the month of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. It is made from vermicelli noodles, milk, sugar, and a mix of spices and dried fruits. Sheer khurma is typically served after a meal during the breaking of the fast, known as Iftar. It is considered a sweet, creamy, and flavourful way to replenish energy levels after a day of fasting. It is also enjoyed for its cultural and spiritual significance, being a traditional dish that has been passed down through generations during Ramadan.
