Sheer khurma & My Family:
This dish is usually cooked by my grandma in our family on every Eid festival.She lived in a village, she woke up in the morning around 4am and milked the cows.After that she soaked all the nuts in warm water to remove the skin and used the wood to make fire because in our village there are no gas stoves.She poured milk into a large pan and boiled it for about an hour on slow fire .After that she added fried Vermicelli(which is also hand-made by my grandma with fresh wheat flour) into the milk and also some slices of nuts and brown suger which is also home-made .She boiled all the ingredients for 15 more minutes and served it warm or cold .I learnt this Recipe from my Grandma before my marrige and when I got married, I cooked this dish as my first cooking at my inlaws family as "Bridals first dish custome".Everyone like it ,nowadays I cook this dish at my home and teach my daughters to carry on with the family and cultural roots.My children and husband like this dish a lot and whenever I cook this this I also share it with my neighbours and they like to very much ,too.
