It is equivalent to shemai, a Bangladeshi dessert. It is a traditional Muslim festive breakfast,^[a] and a dessert for celebrations. This dish is made from various dry fruits, vermicelli, condensed milk, sugar etc. Depending on the region, cardamom, pistachios, almonds, cloves, saffron, raisins, and rose water are also added.

This special dish is served on the morning of Eid day in the family after the Eid prayer as breakfast, and throughout the day to all the visiting guests. In its original form, it consists of dates mixed with milk^[1] from Iran and dry fruits and nuts from Afghanistan which is where it originated.^[5] It is modified in India by the addition of fried semia and caramelised sugar.^[5]
