Here it is, the ‘Id-ul-Fitr menu: First Draft
For the masjid:
- Cheesecake squares
For on or around ‘Id day:
- Chicken, minced lamb, channa and rice
- Lamb kibbe (with a small vegetarian kibbe on the side)
- Some salad or veggie side
- Sahina, the real kind, rolled up
- Lamb-filled pastry with phyllo/filo dough!
- Basbousa
- Almond Biscuits
For when Chennette comes:
- Baklava, various kinds
- Doughnuts
- Fat kurma
Also, we’ll try to make, in the week preceding ‘Id, different ice-cream (chocolate, coconut and peppermint).
Menu subject to change on our tiredness level and other input.
the rice is having chicken AND minced lamb, or are those separate dishes?
any veg rice or ideas as to the veg side – maybe potatoes of some kind?

mom says both
i’m fine with just the chicken
first we were thinking of potato cakes
but maybe like home fries?
we have tonnes of potatoes…from the fridge…
no veg rice
we have rice
vegetarians will eat veg kibbe and veg side
maybe tabouleh? or couscous salad?

a veg rice isn’t necessary, esp since we have tonnes of potatoes – baked spiced wedges? in some kind of exotic spice mix? easy to do – cut potatoes (leave skin) parboil, toss in spices, bake
