Special meals are prepared on Eid. Biryanis, kebabs, haleem, and indulgent sweets like sheer khurma and baklava are all examples of foods cooked with sophisticated recipes and rich flavours. Here are five delicious dishes to amp up the festive dinner.
Zarda Pulao is a mixture of fragrant basmati rice that is a bit sweet and savoury when cooked in ghee, saffron, and a combination of fruits and nuts, such as almonds, cashews, raisins, and others.
Mutton Korma is full of flavour due to the spice combinations like cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon with yoghurt or cashew cream sauce.
Sheer Khurma is a popular sweet delicacy prepared with sweetened vermicelli cooked in hot milk. Cardamom, saffron, almonds, pistachios, and cashew nuts are added to the hot milk to enhance the taste.
Nihari is a slow-cooked beef or mutton that includes common spices like ginger, garlic, onions, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and sometimes even saffron.
It is a slightly thick soup made with a basic trinity of lentils, meat (beef or mutton) and wheat, uncovered with spices like garlic, coriander and cumin.
