Guest Post : Beef Shami Kebab ( Minced Beef Meat Cutlets ) from Lubna of Yummy Food

Eid-ul-Adha ( Feast of the Sacrifice ) is celebrated by Muslims all over the world to commemorate the willingness of Hazrat Ibrahim ( A. S. ) to obey Allah's ( God's ) command to sacrifice his son Hazrat Ismail ( A. S. ), before Allah intervened and provide Hazrat Ibrahim ( A. S. ) with a ram to sacrifice instead. Now Muslims sacrifice an animal ( usually a goat , sheep , cow or camel ) every year during Eid-ul-Adha to keep fresh the memory of that great sacrifice. The meat from the sacrifice is divided into three equal parts; one third for the family, one third for relatives / friends / neighbours and one third for the poor and needy.

While Eid is just around the corner, I thought to invite few bloggers friends to guest post here and share their favorite recipes for Eid-ul-Adha.

Today, I'm excited to be featuring a guest post from Lubna of " Yummy Food ". Most of you would be already familiar with her blog which is full of delicious recipes and stunning pictures.

Today marks two milestones, my 1st Blogoversary & 100th post. Can't believe a year has passed! This blog was started exactly a year ago, just to keep record of all my tried & tested recipes. It has become my passion now and I really enjoy it. In this blogging journey, I have met so many kind blogging friends who who have always been encouraging me through their lovely comments.

After dipping in syrup, they would be more moist and melt in your mouth. And with the coconut, they tastes like a piece of heaven. So here goes the recipe:

Eid al-Adha Mubarak & Sheer Khurma

Pin It

Eid al-Adha or "Festival of Sacrifice" is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Hazrat Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Hazrat Isma'il as an act of obedience to Allah, before Allah intervened to provide him with a sheep— to sacrifice instead. On this day, those Muslims who can afford, sacrifice their best domestic animals as a symbol of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only son. The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts. The family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the other third is given to the poor and needy. ( Source )


Sheer Khurma is a traditional Muslim festive breakfast & Eid's special dessert, prepared in South Asian countries especially Pakistan. It is served on the morning of Eid day in the family after the Eid prayer as breakfast, and throughout the day to all the visiting guests. It is a sweet vermicelli soup. Sheer Khurma was originally a Mughal-Afghan dish, imported to Mughal-India. Sheer means sweetened milk and khurma is made from dried dates. ( Source )

Mini Carrot Coconut Cakes

Carrots and coconut makes a great combination. Never used them together before but when I saw this recipe , I was eager to give it a try. I used muffin pan & small cake pans as she mentioned in the recipe. A beautiful aroma filled my kitchen, while they were in the oven. They are good plain, but even better with the chocolate. If you are a coconut lover, like me, you'll love these :)
