I havent seen a thread on this so far. Or maybe like my husband says i am thinking dur paar ki too early. Anyhow, this is what i have thought of making:

haleem (made and frozen in advance)
nargisi koftay
butter chicken
naan

sheer khorma
shahi tukray

What are you guys thinking about cooking?

hmm I'm thinking

  • Chicken pulao / Chicken briyani
  • Aloo keema
  • Tandoori Chicken (yes we LOVE chicken :p)
  • Naan
  • Some salad

  • Kheer - no Eid without Kheer here hehe

  • Maybe chocolate cake as well

I hope Eid is wednesday here as I'm almost off tuesday so I've time to cook :) or my mum is only gonna make aloo keema .. and thts too boring IMO! :D

I'm doing an Eid party and dholki for my cousin on Sunday. Here's the plan:

Appetizers

- Maybe some fancy punch drink in yellow or orange (hubby is in charge of this)
- Shrimp platter

Lunch
- Chicken ka salan
- Roast beef
- Veggie rice
- Pastitsio (a recipe I found on here and has been very popular -- pasta and keema dish)
- Zucchini tarkari dish
- Aloo chole salan dish
- Some sort of raita with eggplant I think
- Salad with diced: tomatoes, onions, cucumber, bell peppers, olives, garlic, carrots, lettuce, etc.

Dessert
- My favorite flan (I've posted the recipe for this here)
- Ammi's sheer korma (I have asked her to make it )
- Fruits (berries and peaches)
- Ice cream
- Gina's mom's coconut ladoo!
