Planning an Eid Dinner Without the Stress

A simple plan for the days when every kitchen in the city is cooking at once.

· 5 min read

Decide what you will cook and what you will order

On Eid the house is full and the stove is busy. Keep home cooking to the dishes that matter to your family, and order the labour-intensive ones. Sajji, pulao and large karahis are hours of work at home and minutes to collect.

Order early. Eid days are the busiest of the year for every restaurant, and pre-orders are handled before walk-ins.

A menu that balances

Pair one rich centrepiece (matka sajji or mutton karahi) with one gentle dish (chicken handi or qorma), one rice (Afghani pulao), a tray of mixed BBQ for grazing, and something cold and sweet to finish such as lab-e-shireen.

Guests arrive in waves on Eid. Dishes that hold well, like handi and pulao, make the second and third sittings as good as the first.

Eid-ul-Adha note

If you have qurbani meat and want it cooked, ask us in advance whether that is possible on the day. Do not assume; it depends on kitchen capacity.
