EID 2020, A memorable celebration

avatar

Hello everyone...


A very happy Eid Mubarak to everyone!


Yesterday in my country we celebrated Eid-Ul-Fitr, it was suppose to be one of the most happily moments for us Muslims. But due to the current situation of Covid-19 it was a different story this year. Infact, this year not only for me but I suppose for every Muslims (& every other religions)it will be one of the most memorable year.


Eid al-Fitr, also called the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.


Every year, the day of Eid brings happiness and prosperity within everyone but as this year was different, let me share how actually my day started and how it ended. Spoliers, nothing extraordinary happened.

During the month of Ramadan, I usually did not sleep at night. Which is after having my Sehri/sahur and after performing my prayers then I went to bed. It was the usual 30 days routine for myself. So during the night before Eid, I did not slept as well. I was awake the whole night and I went to bed sleeping at probably 10:00 am in the morning.


At a normal circumstances, on a regular Eid day, we celebrate the day in our own way. Going out having fun with friends and family, visiting relatives, exchanging greeting and so on.

BUT

This year, nothing really happened. Thanks to corona. Everybody were in lock down and we were forced to be at our homes. Can not blame anybody but the virus. And that is indeed happening for months. But ut was not really great to be at house at this period of the celebration. But our life is at stake and we should do what is best for us.


FOODS


This is the only probable thing which happened good today. Loads of yummy foods prepared by my mother and here I was having all the time to have them. Because, guess what? I have nowhere to go at this time lol.

I started the day with a sweet dish, it is usually called the Laccha Shemai, a sweet dish in combined with milk,sugar, and other items. Nice way to start the day btw.


The day before Eid, my mother usually prepared different types of PITHA's. A usual traditional dish made in my country. So there were some variety of pithas present in for the day of EID. Let me show you some of them and I do like all of them as it seems besides the sweet ones. I can not handle too much sweet items, so it seems. There were :

  • Nuner Pitha
  • Shondesh
  • Shobji Pitha
  • Biryani
    & some drinks

Nuner Pitha :


This is one of those pitha, that I do usually like a lot. I often have them when they are made in our house besides of any kind of occasion as well. So it is kind of favorite as well.

They are getting made and rested on a tray for being cooked in oil. And the result that comes out in here is from below.

Shondesh


It is rather a sweet pitha which is made with jaggery, sugar, flour and some other ingredients as well. I do not have them that much, like I said I am not much of a sweet eater lol. As you can see below it looks very delicious btw and my sister seems to like them as lot.

This is below , is one of my favorite as well. I am not sure what is the actual name of this pitha but it is also called Narikel pitha or probably have a different name, I am not aware But instead of coconut inside of it, we put vegetables inside of it. It than kind of becomes like Samosa. So it was yummy and as I am writing this post, I am having one of it as well.

Choi Pitha


This is also one of my favorite pitha. In normal circumstances as well, I sometimes have them in my home and among the usual ways I like to have them with beef or with sugar as well or with tea. Nice combination all of the above.

Biryani

Now if you know biryani or if you have ever had this dish, than there is 99% chance that you will become a fan of this dish. This item is indeed of many countless food lovers favorite item ever. So EID without biryani is not full, as we speak. So during lunch time I had it and it was as usual delicious and out of the world as well. Took some extra leg piece on it ;) Ok I was hungry lol


Lastly, among the topic of food , nothing exciting really happened. The whole day passed away by sleeping and the communication among relatives were done by Whatsapp/Viber and FB. As it seems the technology really came in handy this time.


I know I am late to post this but do not blame me, I was sleeping the whole day and was exploring into dreams during the day of it. What an amazing day it was and I will never forget this ever in my life. Who knows what the situation will be in the future but we should be prepared for everything as situations may go sideways in the next coming days.

So that was the summary of the day of Rehan. How was yours? what did you do?

It is also kind of samosa but I suppose the shape of Samosa is somehow different in our eyes lol

This Eid was all about food. 😁😁
I never tried nuner pitha though.
BTW you can try to manage more light while photographing food, it will make the food more delicious!
