What Is Eid ul Fitr
Eid ul Fitr marks the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan in which Muslims all around the world keep fasts for 30 days. At the end, they celebrate with 3 days of festivity called Eid ul Fitr. It is also called Meethi (sweet) Eid. The morning usually starts by eating something sweet like Firni or Sheer Khurma, thus the name.
Where Eid ul Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) is mostly about meaty dishes especially comprising of red meat, Eid ul Fitr is more about sweets and celebratory food. Do hop over to The Ultimate Bakra Eid Recipes Collection for more ideas.
Firni is a very classic Eid ul Fitr dessert. My atypical version is flavoured with rose water and crushed pistachios. And looks very elegant. Another classic Eid dessert presented in a modern way. This royal bread pudding is made with roasted nuts, sweet milk and fried bread. Crispy, fried sweets oozing with sugar syrup, jalebi is pure heaven. And my instant version requires no yeast or resting time, meaning you won't be slaving away making these. Want something unusual for Eid? Then give these moist and refreshing mini cakes a go. Bursting with the flavour of mango this recipe is a keeper. This fancy whole chicken roast is stuffed with boiled eggs, tomatoes, dried plums, mint and coriander. This Mughal inspired dish is the perfect addition to the Eid table. These juicy, melt-in-the-mouth beef kababs are an absolute treat to devour. They are easy and quick to make and yet so hearty. Serve them as a side with your mains! An incredibly delicious appetizer, these crunchy fish fingers are so succulent and tasty. It's a widely popular Pakistani street food that fits so well in an Eid menu too. Chunks of chicken are infused with an aromatic spice mix and then chargrilled before adding to a luscious creamy tomato-based curry. You'll love this recipe! A meatball curry made with tender, melt-in-the-mouth koftas cooked in a savoury sauce. My fool-proof recipe will ensure that the meatballs are tender and do not break in the curry. This restaurant style Chicken Handi is so creamy and luscious. It’s a flavour-rich Pakistani curry which comes together quickly in one pot and is a great entrée. The ultimate naan that pairs perfectly with all Pakistani dishes. It's a rich, pillowy bread enriched with butter, egg, yogurt and baked in the oven. If you don't have an oven then you might prefer this soft, fluffy garlic-flavoured naan. This hassle-free recipe is made on the stovetop. An exotic Afghani pulao which is really popular in Pakistan. It is layered with sweetened carrots, raisins and silvered almonds. No use of meat makes this recipe less complex and also a perfect side for meaty dishes. This exotic pink tea flavoured with whole spices and nuts is a must-try. It's so aromatic and creamy and will definitely elevate your Eid menu.
