India is all set to celebrate Bakrid (or Bakra Eid) on August 1, 2020, with much fun and fervour. Also called Eid-al-Adha, which literally translates to 'Feast of the Sacrifice'. It is one of the two main Eid celebrations world-wide (the first one being Eid-al-Fitr or Meethi Eid). Bakrid is marked to honour Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his own son to prove his devotion to God. God replaced the child with a lamb. As per custom, Muslim families sacrifice a goat (bakra) on this day and share the meat in three parts - one for the family, one for friend and the third for poor and needy people.
It will not be an exaggeration to say that this festival is all about sharing food and happiness. Hence, a grand dawat plays a key role during the celebration. A quintessential Eid feast includes a string of mutton dishes, biryani, phirni, seviyan and more.
Here we bring a customised Bakrid menu (with recipes), which can help you put together a lip-smacking dawat for your loved ones on that day.
