Sheer Khurma as we have always known and craved for Eid, and now my kids look forward to having it first thing on the Eid morning. I still remember having to sliver almonds and pistachios the night before Eid when all the cousins used to be busy with applying henna designs on the palms awaiting to adorn themslves with rose/ jasmine garlands which our brothers used to bring, I can still smell them and hear the delicate clinking of the galss bangles, the fragrances the feelings and so much more.

- Take the dates out while still hot and keep soaked in warm water overnight. Save the milk.
- Discard water, pit the dates, slice thinly. Mix the milk from overnight and the rest and boil. Add thinly sliced dates to boiling milk and set aside the milk will acquire the nutty sweet taste of dried dates.
- Heat butter in a pan, add crushed cardamoms and fry for 1 min.
- Add vermicelli to the butter and fry for 2-3 minutes or until it is heated through.
- Wash raisins and add to the vermicelli. Fry another minute and then add the milk with sliced dates.

Really good recipe but I only added 3/4 cup sugar in 2 Liters (or 8 cups of) milk and it tasted just fine. I think 2 cups might be a little too much sugar. But thanks anyway for this fantastic recipe!
