Today's guest post comes from a wonderful blogger friend, Henna of My Ninja Naan.

She has actually tried some of my recipes and has given me positive feedback. Please visit her site, if you haven't checked out yet.

***********************************************

Hello Friends! My name is Henna and I am the “ ninja ” behind My Ninja Naan . I “ met ” Ambreen 2 years ago when I stumbled upon her fabulous blog . I became obsessed with her authentic and tried and true recipes. Soon after discovering her blog, many of Ambreen’s recipes began making appearances in our home. In fact, I had so much success with her recipes that whenever I would try a new creation, my husband would ask, “Is this something you learned from your friend Ambreen?” Sometimes I would jokingly mention to Ambreen that she had become famous in my home ( seriously though, she is! ).

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. When I requested her to do a guest post for my blog with some traditional Eid-ul-Adha recipe, she promptly responded with this yummy recipe. Let's see what she has to share with us!

Kulfa / Badam Kulfi ( Milk & Almonds Ice Cream )

Kulfa / Badam Kulfi ( Milk & Almonds Ice Cream ) ... Kulfi is a traditional Pakistani / Indian ice cream made with milk, khoya, sugar & nuts.

On Eid or special occasions, we get a lot of mithai ( South Asian sweets ) including Burfi. Usually, we freeze the Burfi for later use in Kheer / Firni, Gajar Halwa or Zarda. But this time, I tried something new; a delicious, rich and refreshing frozen treat from it. It was a great hit :)
