10 Special Recipes For Eid:
Kimami Sewaiyan
Kimami sewaiyan forms part of the desserts that are usually served throughout the day and of course at the dinner table. The main ingredients are vermicelli and milk and the final preparation is slightly thicker in consistency. Lotus seeds, almonds, coconut, cashews, and raisins are also added to the mix of milk, khoya, sugar, and vermicelli to make it richer.
Sheer Khurma
It’s an authentic version of vermicelli pudding. While ‘sheer’ is Persian for milk, ‘khurma’ stands for dates. This traditional Eid delicacy is made differently in different households. Key ingredients include vermicelli or sewai, milk, and loads of nuts.

Mutton Korma
What’s an Eid feast without some special mutton cuisine? The mutton korma, a standard item on the menu for Eid dinner, is prepared with aromatic spices, cashew nut paste, rose water, and saffron. The dish pairs very well with sheermal or tandoori roti.
Biryani
This was predictable, wasn’t it? Is an Eid spread even complete without biryani? Rice, paired with pieces of your favourite meat, biryani is one dish you never get tired of. Team it with raita or spicy korma.
Nihari
We have had nihari at restaurants and hotels, but wouldn’t it be great if you could prepare it at home this Eid? Traditionally a breakfast dish, nihari is made with several soothing spices and kewda water. It is also enjoyed during dinners with friends and family.
Haleem
A popular sehri and iftar staple, haleem also forms part of Eid festivities. It’s made with coarsely pounded meat and is one of those flavoursome treats you don’t want to miss.
Seekh Kebab
Could there be a better starter than seekh kebab? No! Made with minced lamb, marinated in a variety of spices, grilled on a tandoor/oven, and served with green chutney. Mouth-watering, right? Pour a bit of mint chutney and add a few drops of lemon and have the best kebabs to start your dinner.
Bhuni Raan
Made with fried mutton legs, bhuni raan can add another dimension to your Eid spread. Besides, it can also be a good substitute for other mutton cuisines if you want to keep it limited this time. It can be served with roasted potatoes and fresh veggies.
Spicy Chicken Curry
And why leave the chicken out? Prepare the special chicken curry to complete the menu for this Eid dinner. One of the easiest and quickest chicken recipes to make, it is full of flavours and goes well with roti or rice.
you can pick from for this year’s Eid dinner.
