Ingredients
8 medium sized lemons
1.5 tsp of  black salt or salt or sendha namak
1 tsp of red chili powder
1 tsp of garam masala

2.  Cut the lemons into desired pieces.
3.  Now take these lemons pieces in a glass or ceramic bowl.  Add salt or black salt or sendha namak, red chili powder, turmeric, black pepper powder, fenugreek powder, ajvain and garam masala.  Mix all thoroughly with lemons pieces with hand or with two forks.
4. Now put it into a sterlized and dry glass bottle.

Sheer Pira is Afgani sweet burfi.  It is a very simple recipe which can be made with very few ingredients.  Here below is its full recipe:
Ingredients
4 cups of milk powder
1 cup of sliced cashews/almonds
1 cup of coconut powder
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of water
few pistachios for garnishing
Method
1.  Take two cups of water with two cups of sugar in a deep pan for syrup/chashni.  Keep it it on flame. Cook in on medium flame for 13 minutes. In this time,chashni will be thick. Take care, it should not be crystallized.
2. While chashni is being prepared, Mix all the dry ingredients i.e milk powder, coconut powder and  sliced cashews or almonds or both in a deep big bowl.  Bowl should be big, enough to mix it with chashni.
3.  After 13 minutes, when chashni is ready( it should not be crystallized), remove from fire. After that  mix it with all the dry ingredients with spatula, 
4.  Now transfer it into the greased tray/thali and spread it smoothly with the greased back of any bowl.For getting the smooth texture,  grease the back of the the bowl again and again and if needed change the bowl.
5.  Garnish it with sliced pistachios. Slightly press it with hands
6.  When it comes on room temperature, cover it with cling film and keep it in the refrigerator for overnight.
7.  Next  day cut into desired shape.
8.  Delicious sheer pyera/pira is ready to serve. 
Tips
1.Chashni should be thick but not crystallize. Therefore, cook it on medium flame approximately 15 minutes.
2.Make the chashni in any deep pan/small patila/pot just like we make gulab jamun syrup. Pour the syrup in the dry ingredients not dry ingredients in the syrup. Don't  make in kadahi as in it, it gets crystallize very soon.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
