Tips:
- I have used fine variety of vermicelli. If you are using the thicker version of vermicelli the roasting time and boiling time differs accordingly.
- if you are using roasted vermicelli the roasting time can be avoided.

- The Sweetness of the Sheer Khurma comes from the dates and dry fruits. So add sugar only if required.
