About Eid-ul-Adha

Eid always brims with joy, exuberance, and bustling activity. To me, Eid always means happiness, togetherness and sharing. Relatives and friends visit each other, exchange wishes and gifts, cooking feasts, shopping and reading salah is what a normal Eid day is all about.

As you all know Eid ul Fitr is celebrated after fasting in the month of Ramadan for 30 days. Whereas Eid –ul-Adha is celebrated on 10^th day of Dhul’Hajjah, the last month in Muslim Calendar. This also marks the end of Hajj (Pilgrimage). On this day the qurbani meat is evenly distributed in three equal parts. One is for poor and needy, second is for relatives (distributed irrespective of poor or wealthy) and friends and third is for home.

Bakrid At Home

Grey clouds, pouring rain and cool breeze, this moody climate is making me to pull my feet under a warm blanket and settle down to read by sipping hot chocolate. But as I lay on bed my thoughts took their own route and drowned me in a nostalgic line where we use gather for Eid and celebrate it with much fun and love. As the memories start to flood, I slowly kicked my blanket and moved to sit before my laptop to write about my Eid day at home.

At that time, we use to give qurbani in our backyard,. By the time men are back from Eidgah (place where people perform Eid namaz), we women in the family perform namaz at home. After namaz, we start by packing the meat for friends, relatives and for poor and needy.

I still remember how my grandma, mom and aunt use to pack meat in separate bags for everyone to distribute. It is a day long affair. Sometimes, it is goes on for 2-3 days. In the process we also receive qurbani meat from many others.

Typical Bakra Eid Day At Home

In my house, breakfast on Bakrid day will be Kaleji ka Salan and roti. Lunch will simple like dal-chawal with mutton or keema fry. Dinner will be mutton biryani. Soon after breakfast till dinner time, we get busy making sukke kabab. In Rayalaseema region, people call these Vatti Tunakalu. Sukke Kebab is sun dried spiced dry meat.

Been a kid, I use to run up and down the stairs helping my uncles and aunts to tie the meat to dry. In the evening, after dinner women in the family will go out to meet relatives to exchange festive greetings and gifts.

Bakrid | Eid-ul-Adha | Bakra Eid is a three day affair, some families give qurbani on next day of Eid, depending on the availability of qasaab (butcher). These days as many are staying in apartments, a mutual ground or open area or farm is allotted in many areas for performing qurbani. They directly distribute the Meat to the poor and needy from there. In accordance with busy and modern lifestyle things are changing rapidly.

Sorting To Storing Qurbani Meat

From Sorting To Storing

We make small packs of nearly 300-500 grams of meat. Sorting depends on the variety of meat. My mom separates the meat as boneless and meat on bone. Apart from this, she also separates liver and other edible parts of goat or lamb. It is convenient to store this way. We store these packs in deep freezer to use later.

On second or third day, with boneless we prepare shami, kofta, cutlet, patty mixture or keema (mince). We freeze these, by placing these in a clean zip lock bags. These will come handy, when we have guests or on a busy day. With almost ¾^th quantity of the qurbani lamb meat bones, we prepare a big pot of Nihari. As it is huge quantity, this nihari will be cooked overnight. Usually on second or third day, we will have nihari in breakfast.

Making Gosht Ke Sukke Kabab

As the quantity of meat is more, one of us in the family will sit and slice the boneless meat into thin long strips. After cleaning and washing the meat strips thoroughly, these are left to dry in a strainer. After 20-30 minutes, we coat the meat strips with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, salt and turmeric powder.

By carefully tiding the meat strips to a string (jute or plastic), these are then left under hot sun to dry. These strings are covered with thin muslin cloth or thin cotton saree to avoid dust and flies. We dry these meat strips for at least 3-4 days in hot sun.

Upon drying, the meat will turn stiff. So, by using wooden pestle, we tap (kuchalna) the dry meat strips and soften them. For long storage, we again sun dry them for a day. After good amount of sun drying, we store these in a clean and dry moisture free jars. Stays good for almost 6 months. Our sukke kabab are ready for use.

Cooking Sukke Kebab

Heat 4-5 tbsp. of oil and when it heats up deep fry the sukke kabab on low flame, till they turn brown and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the kebab on a kitchen plate lined with kitchen tissue. Serve these kaba with rice and dal or khichdi or as a side dish with any dal-chawal recipe. Tastes amazingly delicious when served with khatti dal, hot rice, pickle and ghee.
