Eid Special Dairy-Free Recipe For

Sheer Khurma

Sheer Khurma is the quintessential Eid-ul-Fitr dessert that marks the festival, also known as ‘meethi Eid’ (sweet Eid). In Persian, ‘sheer’ refers to milk and ‘khurma’ means dates, which are the two primary ingredients in this cherished vermicelli pudding. It is traditionally made with full-fat cow's milk and plenty of sugar, but this recipe offers a dairy-free version for those who might be lactose intolerant. There is also no added sugar in it. The richness comes from a combination of almond milk and soy milk, which not only eliminates lactose but also adds a natural nuttiness and subtle sweetness to the pudding.
