Eid Specialty Recipes

What is everyone thinking of cooking for Eid??

i am thinking about halwa puri for breakfast (homemade InshaAllah), and Femme's badami chicken for lunch perhaps. Also included will be appetizers such as patties (diva and rukhsar's recipe).

I have the recipe for halwa and puri but want to make those aloo bhaji they sell at indian stores with rai in it i think. Any ideas how to make it?

I will take a day off, ofcourse. Wifey has promissed me a grand biryani for lunch and we are invited for the evening.

I usually don't like cooking or anyone else in the kitchen on eid day but I guess I have to make an exception this year. Kya karooN, pehli eid hay naa

Here is the recipe for the alloo ki bhujia.

We usually add cholas in the same bhujia and a couple of slices of mango pickles to give it that khatta taste.

awwwwww, you are lucky, congrats

Well, its my day off, mom's turn. Normally, we have sheerkhorma in the morning and after prayer we have biryani for lunch. And for dinner we normally either order in or just go out.

Funguy, it must be exciting to celebrate your first eid with the mrs. It was supposed to be my first eid too (after the shadi) but for not its just the first one after our engagement.

Rukhsar thanks for the recipe. It sounds like it should give the desired taste.

Usually ammi and abbu cook for lunch since Mamo and cousin are invited over for b oth breakfast and lunch. The evening meal is usually eaten at my phopos. This Eid, i want to cook since Allah knows best when i will get to celebrate it with my family again. Want to make the best of the time with my family InshaAllah.

I usually like to visit people rather than be home on Eid but we have breakfast at home and we usually make sheerkhorma, qeema-pattis, and namak parai.

Please share your past Eid dishes, recipes and your plans for upcoming Eid.

funguy · Oct 27th, 2005, 12:40 PM

shireen143 · Oct 27th, 2005, 12:50 PM

well in breakfast i am also planning to make halwa puri "homemade" , and in lunch we are invited in inlaws but we have a one dish party time thing over there so i think i am gonna make gosht pulao coz i am expert in it. And also apricot custard it is so yummy and i only like my own taste or my mom's taste in this dessert, thats why i am gonna make it on EID on one dish party.

Femme Fatale · Oct 27th, 2005, 01:14 PM

I feel like making bhatooray with something. Or then we could go to IHOP

IHOP sounds good. Have cooked so much for ramzan that i just want to take Eid off from work and cooking.

shireen143 · Oct 27th, 2005, 01:15 PM

i heard the name IHOP but what is their special dish in their resturants?

Lusi · Oct 27th, 2005, 01:32 PM

Double Chocolate Chip Frapachino...

Since i am not off on thursday or friday so i guess I'll treat myself at Starbucks

Shireen: Pancakes (in breakfast menu), they are heaven....

Ira · Oct 27th, 2005, 01:35 PM

Yes funguy, now I am very khush!

shireen: IHOP stands for International House of Pancakes.

Gemini the Great · Oct 28th, 2005, 11:21 AM

I want Hinna to post recipes for all those items taht she has mentioned in her journal including ginger bread house.

Ira · Nov 1st, 2005, 08:31 PM

diyah, Femme Fatale posted her recipe for Badami chiz a couple times and I intend to try that out InshaAllah. I will have to look for it and repost it here.

Femme Fatale · Nov 2nd, 2005, 10:18 AM

Here you go. I had put it up for muniya in the middle of the night and the budtameez didnt even try it. Ira let me know how it turns out.

Get one mug of almonds soak over night or for 3-4 hours and grind to a paste. Add water bit by bit as u need it so the paste doesn;t turn out thin and watery.

Get 1 stick of cinnamon, 3 black cardamoms and 4 small green ones. Bhoonofy them in a pan without oil and grind to a powder. Put aside for garnishing at the end.

Fry 3 medium-large onions till brown in about 3/4 cups oil. Once slightly dark brown remove the onions and cool down. Now they r supposed to turn crisp so u can crush them but mum can't bother with so much detail so she just chops them up finely. Do whichever one u can. Again leave aside till the end.

Get about 3/4 of the paste, 1 cup yoghurt, 1 tbsp garlic paste, 1 tbsp ginger paste, salt, black pepper and mix well.

In the oil add about 4 whole red peppers (the round dry ones) and fry for a bit. Don;t burn it or overfry. Add the chicken pieces (two chickens cut in to smaller pieces), fry for about 5-10 mins and add the paste mixture. Keep stirring while cooking on medium heat. You shouldn;t need water cos of the yoghurt. Once the chicken is cooked and the oil seperates from the masala and it looks bhoonofied, reduce the heat to low, sprinkle with the crushed onions, ground spices (save a little for garnishing) and add the rest of the almond paste. Cover and let it rest for about 5-10 mins. Mix it up and add some dhaniya, shredded ginger and some of the ground spice powder on the top when serving.

Its not going to be a flowy shorba type thing. The masala is supposed to be thick. Best eaten with naan/roti.

Hope it turns out good
