sheer = milk khor = eat
Not extactly.
Sheer khurma means "milk & dates" in Farsi & Urdu..."khurma" is just the more proper way of saying "khajoor."
Growing up, we called in sevaiyyan when it was just sevaiyyan cooked in milk, and sheer khurma when it was thicker and cooked with a lot of balai, nuts, and dates.
