Khurma Recipe | Shakkar Para

Khurma is a sweet that is mainly found in northern parts of India. It used to be a common sweet in Weddings in the region, but as the globalization made it possible to get the best of things from different parts of the world, Khurma seems to have been overshadowed by new and fancy sweets.
