Sheer Khurma

Sheer khurma is a popular Eid-ul-Fitr dessert, loved in South Asia, especially India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It contains a mixture of milk, vermicelli, khoya (mawa), dry fruits, and cheese. It is sweet, rich and creamy and is made at homes on the occasion of Eid. Its name comes from "sheer" (milk) and "khurma" (dates), because milk is used in it and in some houses khurma is also included.

First things first, let's talk about the little ones. Eid is a time of celebration for the whole family, but it's especially magical for kids. This year, why not make it extra special by showering them with toys and treats? Whether it's a new doll, a remote-controlled car, or a board game the whole family can enjoy, giving gifts to the kids will make Eid morning even more exciting.

Treat your taste buds to an array of sweet delights, from traditional favorites like sheer khurma and gulab jamun to decadent cakes and pastries.

But the fun doesn't stop there! Get the kids involved in decorating the house for Eid. Hang up colorful banners, string fairy lights, and scatter flower petals to create a festive atmosphere that's sure to delight guests of all ages.

And speaking of guests, why not host a family dinner at home? Gather your loved ones around the table and feast on delicious homemade dishes while sharing stories and laughter. Don't forget to capture the moment with plenty of photos to look back on and cherish for years to come.

But if you're in the mood for a change of scenery, why not take the celebration outdoors? Many communities host Eid in the park celebrations, complete with food stalls, entertainment, and activities for the whole family to enjoy. It's the perfect opportunity to soak up the sunshine, connect with friends and neighbors, and make new memories together.

And finally, don't forget to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Eid – gratitude, love, and togetherness. Whether you're celebrating with family or friends, near or far, Eid is a time to come together, spread joy, and create lasting memories that will be cherished for years to come.

When adversity becomes your strength

Maa always had a smile on her face, irrespective of the situation – when Maa was alive, I had seen her go through so many ups and downs, but she never failed to bring that smile on her face (and around her) even in the worst of times.

Maa was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the age of 53 – throughout her treatment, she would always tell everyone around that she is doing perfectly fine, even on days when she was literally broken from within. I remember getting her back home post her Chemotherapy sessions on alternate Saturdays and on the way, she would call her Mom, her siblings, her kids (my sisters), her sister-in-law and tell everyone with an upbeat voice that “I had a good treatment, and I am getting better”. I would just sit next to her and wonder what this woman is made of – she’s just finished a painful round of Chemo and here she is…telling the world how well she is!

Post a year of her initial treatment, she had recovered – purely on her mental strength to fight.

Given the nature of this disease, it relapsed a year later and in a much aggressive form – spreading to multiple organs. But Maa, she maintained that smile knowing fully that this is probably going to be the end of her. She underwent Chemotherapy, Radiation sessions, dosages of morphine (to relieve her from the excruciating pain), week after week and she kept fighting throughout.

During her last few days, she had stitched (stitching was her passion and she was bloody good with it) many dresses for her grandkids, she made the last of the Sheer Khurma for me to get it to the office during the Ramadan Eid.

On the morning of the day of her demise, she woke-up, asked me to take her to the washroom – brushed her teeth, came back to the bed, changed her clothes and within a few minutes, she was lying on the bed as she said “I am leaving now” – her final words and she went peacefully. She passed away in my arms as I kept screaming “come back Maa”.

Life would always through adversities – it is our choice how we deal with it. For Maa, surely, she made adversities become her strength.

The Sheer Khurma

Over the years, I have learnt the basics of cooking and I enjoy that whole process of getting all ingredients in place, adding the right masalas and the whole coming together of the dish.

While I started making chai (tea) at an early age, I slowly learnt how to make an omelette and gradually moving on to cook vegetables too. In the last few years, I have also learnt to cook meat and chicken and have loved cooking them as and when the opportunity has come.

It was Eid couple of weeks back and family was out of town – I was meeting a few friends on Sunday and thought it would be great if I could prepare the traditional Sheer Khurma for them. I had prepped up on Saturday evening itself with all the dry fruits, vermicelli, and dates needed for this one.

It was around sunset time on Saturday that I took a vessel and started roasting all the ingredients in ghee (clarified butter) and after a good stir for 10 minutes or so, I added the milk and saffron and kept it on a simmer for an hour or so. As the milk started to reduce, the colour started to change from white to cream/brown with a tinge of the ghee floating on top – it looked (and smelled) perfect!

I turned off the flames and let it cool down before refrigerating it overnight – I was leaving in the morning and packed it in a container for the friends I was meeting a few hours later. They all relished the Eid special delicacy, and I was happy.

I had taken pictures of the Sheer Khurma and shared with the family – as soon as they returned on Monday, they too demanded for the Sheer Khurma, and I grabbed the opportunity to hone my Sheer Khurma making skills!

While I have missed the ritual of getting the Sheer Khurma to office this year, but happy that at least few friends and family got to taste my handmade Sheer Khurma for the first time this year!
