Seekh kebab
A delicious and mouthwatering dish served during the Eid feast is the 'Seekh kebab'. Seekh kebabs are grilled or roasted meat skewers made from minced lamb or beef. They are mixed with a variety of spices, herbs, and onions. Kebabs are a popular choice for both appetizers and main courses.

Mutton biryani
It is one true love of all non-vegetarians. Mutton biryani has a perfect balance of taste and flavours. The long-grain basmati rice is perfectly cooked, with each grain remaining separate and fragrant. The marinated and spice-filled soft mutton chunks result in flavourful meat. The mix of soft mutton and perfectly cooked rice offers a delightful aroma. Mutton biryani is served with raita and salan. The raita cools and refreshes the spicy biryani, while the salan adds another layer of flavour. Photo Courtesy: Taftoon Bar and Kitchen

Haleem
A favourite of many, haleem is a slow-cooked stew made with lentils, meat (beef or mutton), wheat, and spices. The stew is slowly boiled and stirred for hours on end to give it a flavourful texture. Toppings of fried onions, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice add flavour to the dish. 

Sheer khurma
The most popular traditional dessert served on Eid is 'sheer khurma', which has a heavenly flavour that combines sweetness, creaminess, and a hint of aromatic spices. The main ingredients of the dish consist of vermicelli (thin noodles) pudding, cooked with milk and sugar and flavoured with cardamom, saffron, and nuts like almonds, pistachios, and dates.
