The end of ramadan marks the beginning of new hopes and festivity for muslims. On the day of Eid, they invite friends and family for a special daawat and have great time. I have fond memories of this festival, the best being the dessert (sheer khurma / surkumba) and the Eidi ( a gift given to guest on Eid). I was a bit of skeptical about their fasting, until I discovered that, its not a mere fast, but a path taken by every muslim individual to develop patience, self control, and thus evolve as a better person.
Sheer Khurma is a dessert made specially on the day of Eid. Its quite a heavy dish in terms of calories. Basically its milk, ghee, sugar, semiya( sevaiyan) and loads of nuts which goes into its preparation, but you are free to add on and improvise it in your own way.
Happy Eid everyone.
