About Sheer Khurma
Sheer khurma is the Eid breakfast of fine vermicelli cooked in milk with dates, sugar, ghee and nuts. A bowl is about 260 kcal, and the dates and nuts bring a little fibre and fat alongside the sugar.
Tip: It is sweet enough from the dates alone — many families now halve the added sugar without anyone noticing.
