I love love love Sheer Khurma since childhood. I used to live in a area were it surrounded by all religions. Whenever there was any festive occasion of any religion. We all used to celebrate together and distributed sweets. Sheer Khurma was one of them. I still remember my childhood days when we used to look forward to my friend bringing this sweet freshly prepared in steel dabba(box) to my house.  Now my lifestyle has changed and now very rarely I get Sheer Khurma. So I thought of cooking it for myself :)... Hope you enjoy this Rich, creamy and heavenly SHEER KHURMA as much as I do!!❤️
