    What's the story

    Eid is a time of joy, togetherness, and delicious feasts.

    One of the highlights of the celebration is indulging in traditional sweets that add a touch of sweetness to the festivities.

    If you're looking to enhance your Eid celebrations, here are five must-try traditional sweets that perfectly capture the essence of the festival.

    #1

    Zarda

    The word zarda comes from a Persian term meaning "yellow," owing to its beautiful golden color derived from saffron.

    This sweet treat is made from boiled rice, sugar, and ghee, enriched with cardamom, raisins, almonds, and pistachios.

    Its delicious flavors and colorful appearance make it a symbol of festivity, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

    #2

    Sheer khurma

    A classic Eid delicacy, sheer khurma is a rich and creamy dessert made with vermicelli, milk, dates, and an assortment of dry fruits.

    This aromatic dish is infused with cardamom and saffron, making it a mouthwatering treat that is served to guests after the Eid prayers.

    #3

    Phirni

    Phirni is a luscious rice pudding made with ground rice, milk, and sugar, enhanced with saffron and cardamom.

    Traditionally served chilled in earthen pots, it offers a creamy texture and aromatic richness, making it a refreshing and delightful Eid treat enjoyed by all.

    #4

    Seviyan

    Seviyan, or vermicelli pudding, is a cherished Eid dessert made by roasting vermicelli in ghee until golden brown.

    It is then simmered in milk with sugar, cardamom, and a rich blend of almonds, cashews, and raisins.

    Often enhanced with rose water, this aromatic dish offers a creamy texture and a delightful sweetness.

    #5

    Gulab jamun

    No festive occasion is complete without gulab jamun.
