Not only in India, but Muslims all over the world share warmth and happiness with their loved ones during this grand festival. So here’s a list of traditional dishes to plate up for the family get-together.

Awadhi Biryani

Awadhi Biryani is a popular biryani dish in Lucknow. It has the ideal spice blend, which enhances the flavour of the biryani. The biryani is layered with rice and tender mutton chunks. It is then topped with soaked saffron in milk, which simply adds a punch to the Awadhi Biryani.

Gosht Khichda

The traditional dish Gosht Khichda is made with rice, lentils, mutton and masalas. It is cooked on a low heat with mutton, wheat or barley, various types of pulses, rice, spices and other ingredients. When ready, garnish with green coriander, green chilli, lemon and garam masala.

You will be amazed to see that Khichda can even taste so delicious.

When it comes to traditional Eid dishes, who can forget Nalli Bhuna? Nalli Bhuna is a traditional Mughlai mutton curry recipe rich in spices such as nutmeg powder, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and others. Nalli Bhuna has mutton shanks cooked in curry instead of curry-cut mutton pieces.

It’s made especially for Eid and goes well with Butter Naan or Rumali Roti. To enhance the flavour of Nalli Bhuna, it should be prepared in desi ghee.
