As Muslims get ready to celebrate Eid on March 31, mid-day spoke to Indian chefs and asked them to share their favourite recipes for the occassion. They not only share recipes for a classic Hyderabad Haleem but also for Gosht ki Nihaari and Chicken-Kori Sukka Biryani among other dishes. Eid Mubarak!
Gosht ki Nihaari
While there is a lot to explore when it comes to cooking for the festival, chef Asif Qureshi, Indian masterchef at Saffron in JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu, says you can make a Gosht ki Nihaari for Eid. He explains, "Gosht ki Nihaari is a dish that perfectly captures the essence of celebration and family. The rich, slow-cooked meat with its deep spices creates flavours that are both comforting and indulgent-just the kind of meal that brings everyone together. It's a tradition in our family, one that has been passed down for generations. I remember the smell of nihaari filling the house on Eid. For me, it's more than just a meal; it's about honouring those traditions, creating new memories and enjoying the togetherness that makes Eid so meaningful."
