What Is Eid ul Fitr
Eid ul Fitr marks the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan in which Muslims all around the world keep fasts for 30 days. At the end, they celebrate with 3 days of festivity called Eid ul Fitr.
It is also called Meethi (sweet) Eid. The morning usually starts by eating something sweet like Firni (rice pudding) or Sheer Khurma (vermicelli dessert), thus the name.
Where Eid ul Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) is mostly about meaty dishes especially comprising of red meat, Eid ul Fitr is more about sweets and celebratory food like biryani, haleem or whole chicken roast.
So here's my collection of fuss-free recipes that you can add to your Eid al-Fitr menu.
