Islamic celebrations and takes place on the tenth day of the Islamic
month Dhul-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar in which
millions of Muslims from around the world make an annual pilgrimage to
Makkah in order to worship Allah and to commemorate the willingness of
the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) tosacrifice his son Ishmael in
response to a command from God. Satisfied with Abraham's devotion, God
replaced Ishmael with a sheep at the last second, and the sheep was
slaughtered instead. While pilgrims in Makkah re-enact this scene by
slaughtering sheep of their own,Muslims who can afford it in the rest
of the world also participatein this rite by slaughtering sheep,
camels and cows. One third of the meat is distributed to the poor, one
third to neighbors and relatives while one third is kept by the person
who offered the sacrifice for use within his or her own family.
India is home to approximately 150 million Muslims who celebrate the
Eid in the same way as their non-Indian brothersand sisters in faith.
It is a very happy time which is marked by special prayers, visits to
family and friends, gifts to children and, of course by food. For
manyfamilies, it may be one of the few times during the year that they
have the opportunity to enjoy meat, and only the best dishes are
served. The following are some recipes for Indian dishes which are
popular on Eid al-Adha:
