Circumstances often dictate how your Eid prep goes. Back in the day, our mothers or grandmothers wouldn’t even think about ordering food from outside. But nowadays, it’s all about making things easier so you can enjoy the celebrations more. This Eid, let’s take it easy and focus on things that actually matter. Here’s the deal: we’re going for simple stuff, like frozen vegetables. And those special dishes?
You’ll prepare them in advance – think kofta and samosas – and just stick ’em in the freezer until you need them.
Then, when it’s time for Eid lunch or dinner, you’ll have a super luxurious spread. And dessert? No worries, just grab something from a bakery.
The whole point of Eid-ul-Fitr is to bring people together without all the stress.
Let’s keep it chill and enjoy each other’s company. After all, that’s what really makes these celebrations special.
Eid Special Vegetables Recipes
Here are some quick & easy recipes featuring the best of Shana Foods and frozen vegetables.
Crispy Okra Fries
Slice Shana frozen whole okra down the middle and remove the seeds. In a shallow bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Then coat the sliced okra in the seasoned batter and fry until crispy & golden brown. Use a strainer to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain or absorb any excess oil.
Serve with chili garlic or ranch sauce as a delicious Eid appetizer.
Methi Dana Achaar / Pickle
To make methi achaar, start by thawing Shana frozen methi and patting it dry. In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and red chili powder. Stir in the methi and cook until fragrant.
Add salt and vinegar to taste, then let it cool. Transfer the mixture to a sterilized jar and store it in a cool, dark place for a few days to allow the flavors to meld. Methi achaar is a tangy and aromatic pickle that pairs well with rice dishes or as a condiment for sandwiches and wraps.
You can add it as a dip to your Eid spread or slather it on desi-style sandwiches or wraps.
Stuffed Tinda
To prepare stuffed tinda, begin by thawing Shana frozen tinda and cutting off the tops.
Scoop out the centers and set aside. In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes, finely chopped onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.
Stuff this mixture into the hollowed-out tinda. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the stuffed tinda until golden brown and cooked through.
Make a basic tomato-based gravy with Indian spices, toss in the stuffed tinda, and enjoy with Shana frozen parathas or garlic naan.
Arvi Kebabs
Boil frozen Shana arvi until it’s soft & tender. Once cooled, mash the arvi in a bowl. Add chickpea flour, minced ginger, garlic, chopped green chilies, cilantro, cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt.
Mix well to form a dough-like consistency. Shape the mixture into kebabs and shallow fry in hot oil until crispy and golden brown.
Serve with mint chutney or make your own vegetarian version of arvi bun kebab this Eid.
