Eid-ul-Fitr is the sewaiyon wali Eid.
There are many names to this dish ranging from sevaiyyan, semiya, sheer qurma, semiya pudding, vermicelli pudding, and what not. South Asian Countries, have always known it best as shir qurma.
Our grandparents once told us that the word shir was derived from the word shireenwhich meant sweetness and always stressed upon being shireen-zubaan (sweet language) in dire situations too. Eat sweet and speak sweet; that’s all I remember about the dish. I thought khurma meant gravy.
