Families are busy planning their Eid Milap gatherings, carefully noting down dishes to prepare. While Biryani and Sheerma Khurma take center stage in the Eid feast, no celebration is complete without indulging in some more traditional Hyderabadi desserts.
Hyderabadi Desserts To Prepare On Eid
The star of the Eid spread is undoubtedly Sheer Khurma – a rich and creamy vermicelli dessert made with milk, dates, nuts, and saffron. This royal delicacy is a must-have in every Muslim household, served to guests as a sweet token of festivity.
Another beloved dessert that Hyderabadis love indulging in is Qubani Ka Meetha, a luscious apricot-based sweet treat, often topped with fresh cream or ice cream for that extra indulgence.
Equally popular is Double Ka Meetha, a Hyderabadi-style bread pudding soaked in flavored milk, saffron, and dry fruits.
This year, some trending Eid desserts include Apricot Delight, a modern twist on the traditional Qubani Ka Meetha, and Fruit Cream with ice cream, a refreshing mix of fresh fruits and rich cream, perfect for those who love light yet indulgent treats.
For those who prefer classic flavors, Chaawal Ka Meetha (Muzaffar), a fragrant and sweet saffron-infused rice dessert, and Gajar Ka Halwa, the rich and comforting carrot pudding, remain top choices for a festive feast.
