These simple yet tasty dishes will wow the guests but at the same time, you don’t have to be sweating away in the kitchen, as some of these treats can be semi-prepared in advance of upto two days!

1 - Biryani – The badshah of the show!
Make the masala a day ahead, marinate the meat, and just cook the rice on the big day. Boom! Restaurant-style biryani with minimal effort.
2 - Chicken/Mutton Karahi – The People's Pleaser!
Chop the onions, tomatoes, and garlic a day before blend and keep them in the fridge. On Eid day, just throw everything in the pan and let the magic happen. Remember, onions are optional in this dish.

Prepare and freeze these in advance. Just grill or pan-fry when guests arrive. Ever so easy-peasy!
4 - Dahi Baray – The cooling effect for those who are less tolerant to spice!
Make the baray two days ahead. On the day or even the night before, you can assemble it up in the dish and cling film it and store it in the fridge.
5 - Chana Chaat – the crunch and the refreshing tanginess!
Boil the chickpeas a day before.
Add chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumber, tamarind sauces, chaat masala, lemon juices, and salt, and give it a good mix up and serve with a garnishing of mint chutney, fresh mint leaves, and lemon wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions about Top 10 Dishes for an Eid Party!
1 Can sheer khurma be served both hot and cold?
Yes, it can be, it just depends on what the majority of your guests like. Also, a little secret, this dessert tastes better a day after it’s been cooked so prepare it beforehand.
2 Can we use spices we have in a kitchen cupboards in order to prepare biryani masala or should we use boxed ready to use masalas.
Personally I dislike boxed masalas and prefer to mix my own. It really depends on what you have available. If you don’t have many masalas then go for the boxed ones to make it easier for yourself.
