Asalam-wa-lekum,i have been planning to post this recipe for long,but was feeling lazy to take a picture.Here in Saudi Arabia we have a week off from work and all we do is sleep,shop,party celebrating Eid for a week,have sheerkhorma daily saying you only have it only in Eid. Everyone has a different way of making this traditional recipe,here's my version....hope u all will like it,i know i am late in posting this one...sorry for that.Hoping you all will still give it a try...

All the Dry fruits need to be sliced thinly.
METHOD:
  • Fry the dry fruits in ghee to golden brown and set aside.(these are called magziyaad)

Anjum, your Sheer Kurma looks delicius. My version is also quite similar to yours.
Sadly I had a working day on Eid here in Canada. I miss the way Eid was celebrated back in India in the tradional way along with all my relatives..
We'll be lucky if we get a rare co-incidence to get an official holiday on Eid here to spend and celebrate the day at home with my loved ones.

Masha'Allah. Looks really good. Insya'Allah, I'll try out some of your recipes. Gotta love the easy to follow instructions. Only problem is, I am unsure of some of the ingredients. Not too sure whether we have it here or perhaps it's called by another name.
