Eid Recipes – Traditional Desserts you got to try!

Desserts· Eid

So Eid is just around the corner and this is one of the few Eid I am actually spending at my home and with my parents with us. I plan to relax, and prepare and enjoy lot of foods because let’s accept it, occasions are incomplete without food. 

I have compiled a list of traditional and some twists on traditional desserts that will not only brighten up your Eid trolley/table but are also

  • perfect crowd pleaser
  • can be prepared in very little time
  • needs very basic ingredients found in every pantry
  • will cool down in sweltering heat  

Two bonus savory ideas in the end if you are looking for some recipes that utilizes meat of Eid ul Adha 2019.

Eid Breakfast Recipes

Halwa Puri/Paratha with Aaloo ki Tarkari

This recipe of Puri is dual purpose. I love recipes that are functional as this. Either you deep fry the prepared dough to make puris or you roll out little thicker to get Paratha variant. Both super delicious and does not require any flour/khushki which just adds cleanup post preparation.

And did I tell you its whole wheat? Like no white flour.Eid Recipes Halwa Puri

 

Kachori

This one is little trickier and requires time, patience and expertise but if you are someone living abroad, have taken off that day and only a few people or just your family to celebrate with, this can be a joint kitchen fun!

Potato Gravy recipe remains same!Eid Recipe Kachori Tarkari

Eid Breakfast Sweets

Khubani Ka Meetha

I will shamelessly boast that I make best Khubani ka Meetha. LOL Not too sweet, perfect layering with custard and fresh cream and take your time (or bribe someone) to break those tiny almond retrieved from Khoobani/Dried Apricots seeds.

Sheer Khurma

Eid is incomplete without Sheer Khurma. Do comment below if you like to serve it hot or cold.

Get this recipe from my mum’s and I am not biased, she does make the best sheer khurma.

Eid Desserts to chill

No-cook blender Qulfi

Qulfi Eid Desserts

What to say about Qulfi, unlimited flavor, one base recipe, no cooking, can be made in jiffy! My friends and family have tried mango version (add 1 cup pureed mango), Pistachio, chocolate chip and Crunch/Praline version. All hit, no regrets. Special tip – boys and men are encouraged to try and surprise their ladies in house!

Chocolate Ice creamchocolate ice cream

Well, again a little advanced, still no special equipment required like ice cream maker, can be made in bulk and make ahead.  Serve it in cone or ice cream cups with condiments like nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles, seasonal fruits.

Eid Desserts for a Party

Chocolate Trifle 

Hosting a BBQ party? Need a big batch of impressive yet easy dessert with fresh flavors and to cool down post-party heat? Try this 3 layers chocolate trifle with homemade chocolate custard (from scratch and no mix required, and no eggs involved)

Chocolate trifle from scratch - no egg custard

Lemon Strawberry Trifle

Also this Lemon Trifle is a big hit with sweet and tangy flavors. Adapt it for seasonal fruits and you have a restaurant style dessert!Lemon Strawberry Trifle

Dessert Ideas for Giveaway

Have some guests who just wants to runaway or you are just planning some sort of giveaway. 

Gulab Jamun

The pillowy Nadia Tariq’s Gulab Jamun (my friend has named this but also my mum’s staple recipe) without khoya is just perfect for that sweet note.

Pakistani Dessert - Gulab Jamun

Maamoul

The stuffed date cookies commonly known as Maamoul in Middle East is also one of the great ways to utilize the left over dates but also makes a great giveaway.

We all love chilghozas/pinenuts.Specially my eld We all love chilghozas/pinenuts.Specially my elder one and every winter my father would get them for her.My parents don't even eat or buy chilghozas/pinenuts when my daughter isn't there.(the grandparents love)This year, covid changed everything including our chilghozas supply and access.Last month my father's friend was visiting Riyadh and he surprised us by sending a few packs with him and excited we were would be an understatement.When I went to pick chilghozas, I felt so so homesick and missed my father like anything. Cried and prayed for all this to be over soon - covid 19 that changed 2020.
Gratitude nonetheless because it was less daunting for me and kept my loved ones safe and sound!As a thankyou gesture, made this basket for my father's friend and they loved it.Swipe to see more cloeups!Lemon pound cake (one bowl) - recipe on YouTube

English high tea or afternoon tea is incomplete wi English high tea or afternoon tea is incomplete without scones. Traditionally served in a 3 tier platter with sandwiches,pastries and assorted delicacies like eclairs etc. Scones are an integral part of it with clotted cream and jam.
Presenting my creation for last episode of our baking challenge which is scones/biscuits/muffins/cupcakes.The idea is to encourage baking from scratch at home! Merely putting together a few ingredients can create an array of baked goodies which are not only delicious but also healthier in terms of no additives preservatives and chemicals in general.
These scones turned out delicious, light, fluffy and soft.
Once your tastebuds are trained for the quality of food you consume,you are not likely to overeat or goto packaged food often.The only thing I would want next time is height. And basically 8 scones and not 14 should be made from this quantity.I went ahead and replaced half of the flour with wholewheat which in my opinion gave depth of flavour without compromising on texture.Good thing about scones is that they can be made sweet or savory and can have various add-ins.The clotted cream or devonshire cream is basically 35% cream, baked and chilled to get that thick skin. Back in pakistan we call it Balai.In my family, balai is always made using boiled and cooked milk, by cooling it overnight to get that thick rustic clotted cream leaving the milk with relatively less fat. That balai can even be used to make brownies or ghee.This balai is usually served with homemade apple jam or murabba (heirloom recipe) with whole apples cooked in sugar syrup for hours.Recipe of scones and jam in comments.Participants in this episode are super talented ladies, dont forget to check out the various scones and cupcakes variations they are postingSadaf @myculinaryfiles

As this year draws to end, I cannot help but think As this year draws to end, I cannot help but think, how less of parties I haved hosted this year! Well 6 months was complete lock down and then other 6 were spent home schooling and converting every part of home to either home office or class room! Oh well. In the end I am grateful for everything we realized to cherish which we had forgotten. Prayers and wishes for an amazing next year for us as an individual, as a family, as a nation, as a human!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
