BAKRID SPECIAL | MUTTON BIRYANI RECIPE {English and Urdu}

Bakrid is a special festival that Muslims celebrate all around the world. This Eid represents happiness, family reunion and Muslims sacrifice(animal) in the name of ALLAH. We Muslims divide meat into three portions, one portion for relatives, one portion for poor and needy people, and one portion for us.

Eid is also time to celebrate and eat delicious meals and sweets. Since Eid ul azha is all about animal sacrifice, we see a lot of meat dishes around three days of bakrid.

Eid is not complete without bakrid special mutton biryani. Mutton biryani does not taste as good the whole year as it does on Eid days. The flavourful tender, aromatic, spicy meat cooked with rice to heavenly perfection adds joy to bakrid.
