5 Ramzan Recipes for the Perfect EID Menu

With grand feasting platters, vibrant clothes and tasty meaty dishes- The EID is finally here! Although the festival is filled with happy moments, it also brings an urge to indulge yourself in sweet greasy delicacies. Seriously, resisting a bite of yummy curry with fragrant rice or with cheese naans is difficult but adding more veggies to make it healthier is not that difficult. The festival of EID has a strong affair with delicious greasy snacks, savoury dishes and sugary syrups that can hamper our health and today we bring you perfectly healthy and delicious recipes that will definitely save you from consuming those oily food items and plenty of health glitches.

Here are a few healthy authentic and must have savouries to relish this Eid:

• Seekh Kebab: Non- vegetarian dishes topped the EID menu and therefore we bring you a perfect starter that will make your taste buds go crazy with the pinch of some health. Your EID platter is incomplete without the touch of distinctive seekh kebab which is grilled and marinated in a variety of spices. This dish is served with minty green chutney with some onion rings on the side and works as a perfect appetizer.
• Mutton Biryani: Well, Eid celebration is incomplete without biryani, and biryani just sounds so synonymous with Eid. However, mutton or chicken is just about your personal preference. Made with the goodness of mutton, rice, ghee, saffron and a melange of spices, this delicacy is often served with Mirchi ka salan or korma, which simply gives you an experience like none other. A healthier version could be adding lean meat instead of red meat.
• Chicken Korma: An authentic Mughlai recipe, chicken Korma is a slow-cooked delicacy and is pure indulgence, often paired with sheermal, biryani, or plain rice. Chicken korma is one such delight that can accentuate your meal experience and is prepared with the goodness of meat, onions, tomatoes, yoghurt and a blend of Indian herbs and spices. With just a few ingredients and heavenly taste, chicken korma can be made healthier by adding more vegetables and this would also make it crunchier and reduce the cream or fats which we are adding to it. We can also choose to make it vegan friendly.
• The EID special drink: EID is a summer festival that comes after a month of fasting. Adding some refreshing and hydrating drinks to your EID menu is the perfect way to get the hearty nutrients and to beat the heat. Minty buttermilk, chilled lemonade, summer rosae with chia seeds are some of the delicious and perfect options to add to your menu. You can also try a watermelon basil cooler to get the punch of chilled refreshing vibes. All you have to do is just blend the watermelon chunks, lemon juice and basil along with crushed ice and it is ready to serve!
• Sewai: Sewai is a typical EID dessert that is prepared from roasted vermicelli, nuts, milk and ghee. Its perfect flavour carries a distinctive taste and aroma that can give a perfect ending to your EID party. All you have to do is just replace the refined sugar from dates, jaggery powder or honey and you are all set to satisfy your sweet cravings without disturbing your health.
