Planning Eid ul Fitr foodعید الفطر کے کھانے کی تیاری

Eid ul Fitr 2027 is expected around 10 March 2027. Most families serve sheer khurma after Eid prayer, then a breakfast of halwa puri or chana chaat, and a bigger lunch or dinner for guests.

Do as much as you can on chand raat: cook the sheer khurma, set kheer or lab-e-shireen, fry papri and prepare dahi baray. On Eid morning you only warm, assemble and serve.

عید الفطر ۲۰۲۷ تقریباً ۱۰ مارچ ۲۰۲۷ کو متوقع ہے۔ زیادہ تر گھرانے نمازِ عید کے بعد شیر خرمہ پیش کرتے ہیں، پھر حلوہ پوری یا چنا چاٹ کا ناشتہ، اور مہمانوں کے لیے بڑا دوپہر یا رات کا کھانا۔

جتنا ہو سکے چاند رات کو کر لیں: شیر خرمہ پکا لیں، کھیر یا لبِ شیریں جما لیں، پاپڑی تل لیں اور دہی بڑے تیار کر لیں۔ عید کی صبح بس گرم کریں، سجائیں اور پیش کریں۔
