Classic Eid Delicacies

 

All festivals are bound by the love for food. Eid comes with its own set of food connections that creates a bond between friends and family – the inimitable Iftar. Wholesome food flows across the month of Ramadan, and as it comes to an end, the feast of Eid – the most awaited banquet of all, is here. There are several platters of classic traditional food specially prepared for the occasion. Here are some traditional delicacies that you can indulge in this Eid.

South Asian Biryani

Biryani and the spirit of Eid go together. The South Asian Biryani tops the list of legendary Eid delicacies. The mouth-watering rice dish is made up of a culmination of herbs and spices with rich marinated mutton in between. While there might be several variations of the recipe, its aromatic flavours and serving style are unmatched.

Pakistani Sheer Khurma

A sweet and creamy dessert made up of milk and vermicelli, the viscous milk liquid is topped with nuts and dry fruits. The Sheer Khurma is relished by Muslims across Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.

Maamoul (Syrian & Lebanese)

Considered as one of the most flavourful Arabic sweets the Maamoul from Syria & Lebanon is a widely presented Eid gift. A shortbread cookie, it is filled with dry fruits and hence gets a crackling taste. Syria and Lebanon have their own versions, too.

Rendang from Malaysia

This traditional Eid dish comes with a rich coconut flavour. Rendang is a spicy coconut curry and mixed with minced beef or chicken. While it is traditionally Malaysian, the Rendang is also relished by the Filipinos and Singaporeans.

Lapis Lagit – Indonesia

Lapis Lagit is a cake and a traditional Eid sweet that is inspired by Dutch cuisine. A broiled batter with different layers, it is particularly prepared in Indonesian families, and can even be tedious to make.
