Special Id Recipes

Every Muslim family takes great care to prepare the exclusive id recipe dishes on Eid-ul-Adha. The idea is to make the menu over-the-top and include food which are not regularly eaten .

Most Eid-ul-Adha items are focused on the sacrificial meat of the Eid-ul-Adha ritual. Beef, of course, is the meat of choice ! A number of delectable dishes can be prepared with beef like the beef balls, beef kebabs, beef rolls, beef biriyani, beef stew and many more. Shahi mutton Biriyanis, rice dishes, Afghani korma, meatballs followed by the sweet gulab jamuns are often an Eid-ul-Adha favorite among the Muslims. Another popular Eid-ul-Adha menu is the Ummah mix, which is based on recipes from around the Muslim world. This Ummah feast is an international feast of Eid-ul-Adha celebrations and is meant to bring closer Muslims from across the world. Different kinds of dishes from different origins are included in this Ummah menu.

But it must not be forgotten that before indulging in the delicacies, one needs to say his prayers before the Eid-ul-Adha feast. It is customary to begin eating in the name of Allah, the One God. We all thank him for his grace and love.
