So, let’s dive into some simple tips, tricks, and recipes to make this Eid cooking both hearty and nutritious.

Tips, Tricks, & Recipes for Hearty Eid Cooking

Whole Wheat Seviyan

Start your Eid day feast with an iconic Seviyan dish, made from whole wheat vermicelli, cooked in buffalo milk for added richness. Opt for organic products like nuts and sweeten with jaggery powder or grated apple, according to taste. The whole wheat vermicelli adds a rustic touch and ensures you’re enjoying a healthier version of this classic dessert.

Chicken Seekh Kebab

Chicken Seekh Kebabs for your Eid day feast are as nutritious as they are delicious. Start by marinating minced chicken in a mix of organic spices—turmeric, cumin, and garam masala—alongside fresh herbs like coriander and mint. For an extra health kick, swap out regular mince for organic chicken mince. When it’s time to cook, wrap the mixture around bamboo skewers and bake. Serving these with rotis made from organic multigrain flour adds fiber and nutrients to your diet, making it a balanced meal.

Hearty Shami Kebab

Shami kabab, a beloved Eid staple, can be made using organic minced lamb mixed with soaked chana dal. Season with herbs and spices such as onions, green chilies, garlic, and ginger. Instead of frying, bake these kababs to perfection. Serve alongside fluffy naan or multigrain flour rotis for a wholesome treat.

Wholesome Shahi Tukda

Redefine indulgence with Shahi Tukda made from baked multigrain or whole wheat bread. Soak almonds overnight, then blend with dates and figs for a natural, healthy sweetness. Spread this rich, creamy mixture over your toasted bread, garnishing with pistachios for that final touch. This version with organic products will satisfy the sweet tooth and will also bring a wholesome twist to your festive table.

Oats/Talbina and Carrot Kheer

Imagine a kheer that's as nourishing as it is sweet, and tempting right? Start with organic oats or talbina, soaked in milk. Boil organic carrots in buffalo milk, then add the soaked oats or talbina, sweetening with your choice of organic sweeteners. A sprinkle of cardamom and a handful of crushed almonds later, and you've got a wholesome dessert ready.

Brown Rice Zarda Pulao

Zarda Pulao gets a healthy makeover with organic products like brown rice and desi ghee. Start by cooking the rice, then in a separate pan, toast nuts in desi ghee. Add water, organic jaggery for sweetness, and a pinch of saffron for that luxurious color and aroma. Mix in the rice and garnish with nuts and saffron strands.

All in all, Eid ul-Fitr is about coming together and celebrating life, love, and the joy of eating. With Amaltaas range of organic products, you can enjoy all your favorite Eid dishes without compromising on health or flavor.

Here's to a celebration filled with the bliss of Eid and the goodness of organic eating. Happy Eid from Amaltaas!
