Traditional Islamic cuisine involves preparing a plentiful treat for three days on one of the biggest holidays for Muslim peoples. Dishes on Urazu-Bayram differ from everyday food in richness, originality and colorfulness of the components. At the same time, each nationality has its own recipes for festive treats, characteristic of a particular region.

What to cook for Urazu-Bayram - each housewife decides on her own, focusing on the customs of her own family and the characteristics of a particular region of residence. Our recipes with photos will help you fulfill religious installations as close as possible to traditions.

Shah pilaf

For a holiday, such a treat is offered to guests in Azerbaijan. There is no single recipe for all regions of this colorful and original country, so this recipe with step-by-step photos is an average version of preparing a stunningly tasty and satisfying dish. Cooking should be in a cast iron cauldron or baking dish.

Ingredients:

• 400 g long-grain rice;
• 1 pack of thin lavash or 2 sheets of 70 g each;
• 600 g of lamb or chicken pulp (for the European version);
• 2 medium onions;
• 70 g butter;
• 100 g dried apricots;
• 70 g pitted raisins;
• 3-4 cloves of garlic;
• a ready-made mixture of seasonings for pilaf or to taste a homemade set of spices: table salt, ground black pepper, cumin, turmeric, barberry and wig.

Cooking:

Rinse thoroughly in several waters. If this is not done, the flour remaining on the grains after cleaning will turn a crumbly dish into a viscous porridge. Spread the grits in a cauldron in layers 1 cm thick. Each part must be seasoned with turmeric, salt and “covered” with thin slices of frozen butter.

Pour drinking water here in a ratio of 2: 1 and send the container to the fire. As soon as the contents of the cauldron boil, reduce the fire, cover the future pilaf with a lid. While the base is cooking, cut the meat into small pieces. It should be fried in a dry frying pan until golden brown.

Cut the onion into cubes, as for dressing in soup and send to the meat. Simmer over low heat until transparent without a lid.

Rinse in running water and raisins, pour boiling water in a separate container for 5 minutes, cover with a lid. As soon as the products soften, cut the dried apricots into medium-sized pieces.

Send the prepared berries to the meat, cover the pan with a lid. Stand for 2-3 minutes on low heat, add all the spices and spices, mix.

Remove container from stove. Add finely chopped garlic to the spicy mixture and cover again so that the seasoned meat is infused.

Cut pita bread into strips, 5 centimeters wide. It is convenient to use a matchbox as a measuring device.

Melt the rest of the butter in a steam bath. Lubricate one side of each strip with a silicone brush, fan out into a cauldron or baking dish.

At the same time, the strips hanging along the edges do not need to be cut off - they will serve as a kind of cover for shah-pilaf. On the prepared “bed” of dough, spread the cooked rice and meat with spices in layers.

Cover the whole mass with the hanging ends of pita bread, as shown in the photo.

Send the container with the workpiece to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40 minutes.Before serving, carefully invert the cauldron onto a large, flat plate and cut into portions like a cake.

Such a dish will not become the main one in the festive treat. Pickled and fresh vegetables, any greens and a good mood should be served with him.

Gubadia

In common parlance, this is a multi-layered pie, very satisfying and tasty. It is cooked in Tatar families only on big family and religious holidays. Therefore, for housewives who do not know what to cook for Eid al-Adha, a recipe with a step-by-step photo will certainly come in handy.

Dough Ingredients:

• a quarter cup of warm drinking water;
• 100 g butter;
• 2 fresh chicken eggs;
• 3 art. l. granulated sugar;
• 1/2 tsp dry yeast;
• 2 tbsp. wheat flour of the highest grade.

For the court (varieties of cottage cheese):

• 1 liter of fresh cow's milk with a fat content of not more than 3.5%;
• 0.5 l of kefir with a fat content of up to 2.5%;
• 2 tbsp. l. granulated sugar.

For filling:

• 2/3 cup long grain rice;
• 3 raw eggs;
• 3 art. l. granulated sugar;
• 1 pack of butter (180 g).

For crumbs:

• 50 g butter;
• 1 st. wheat flour;
• 3 art. l. granulated sugar.

Cooking:

Mix milk and kefir in a thick-walled bowl, put on fire. As soon as the liquid warms up and begins to curdle, reduce the temperature to a minimum. Simmer the dish for about two hours, stirring from time to time with a wooden or silicone spatula.

Ideally, the liquid should evaporate and will have a slightly dark color, since at the end of the manipulation it will begin to fry. The finished product should be crumbly and moist.

Boil the rice until cooked, put it in a colander and cool it in such a way that it becomes dryish. Hard boil eggs, peel and grate on a coarse grater. Steam the raisins and dried apricots, cut the apricots into small pieces, leave the grapes whole. From the ingredients for the dough, knead the base for the pie. Set aside for 30 minutes for the yeast to start working.

Grind flour, butter and sugar until a homogeneous crumb, send the powder to the refrigerator.

Divide the dough into 2 unequal parts.

Roll out a larger piece of the workpiece into a layer about ½ centimeter thick - this will be the bottom and walls of the future Gubad. Put the cake in a baking dish, as shown in the photo. Put a thin layer of boiled rice on the bottom of the pie.

Place half of the prepared cottage cheese on top.

Lay out the grated eggs evenly in the next layer and add salt to taste.

Mix rice with granulated sugar (the amount is indicated in the ingredients for the filling), spread on the surface of the pie.

Arrange prepared dried fruits on sweet rice.

Cover the entire surface of the pie with thin slices of butter.

Roll out the remaining dough into a layer and cover our structure with it. Pinch the edges and pierce the entire surface with a fork in several places.

Sprinkle the gubadia with crumbs from the refrigerator.

Send the cake to the oven preheated to 180 degrees, bake for about 25 minutes.

Serve hot, as the dish is soaked in butter.

Today Muslims have a big holiday - Uraza Bayram. It marks the end of the fast in the holy month of Ramadan. The feast of breaking the fast is celebrated for three days. Vladimir Seroukhov, correspondent of the MIR 24 TV channel, learned how they are preparing for it in Moscow.

At this time, people are still sleeping, but the Adzhimambetov family is already on their feet. After all, today Muslims celebrate one of the main holidays - Eid al-Adha. It marks the end of the fast in the holy month of Ramadan.

“Lent was easy to observe, no difficulties. At first, there were difficulties, it was necessary for the body to get used to it, but in general everything went like this, automatically,” Aziz Adzhimambetov said.

A lot of national dishes are prepared for the holiday. The hostess, Zara Adzhimambetova, is preparing a drink on the stove.

“An obligatory condition for the beginning of our great holiday is the preparation of traditional Nogai tea. It is prepared from milk, cream, pepper and salt to taste. It is served in a hot dish along with other treats that are also prepared for the holiday.

On the table you can see a puff pastry called katlama. It is made with the addition of butter, fried in the oven. The table is decorated with a smaller one - a traditional Nogai dish, this is a yeast dough with minced meat. “A very tasty treat,” concludes Zara.

Housewives usually prepare in advance for the feast of breaking the fast. You need to have time to make traditional sweets - after all, their preparation takes a lot of time.

It is believed that there must be brushwood on the table. Another festive sweet is chak-chak. This is a finely chopped fried dough with condensed milk. But the main dish, of course, is fragrant pilaf. Not a single important holiday in Muslim families can do without it. Each housewife has her own recipes.

“Every year I lay a festive table. My family is big. Neighbors sometimes come by. And of course, relatives come to visit. The doors are open to everyone. We love this holiday very much,” says Salima Batyrkanova from Kyrgyzstan.

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by all Muslims, even those who did not fast. The holiday of Uraza marks the end of a strict fast that lasted 30 days. He is one of the main in Islam. It is celebrated for three days.

Kirill Sysoev

Calloused hands do not know boredom!

The ninth month of the Muslim calendar, Ramadan, is one of the four holy months of the year. Men and women at this time hold a strict fast of Uraz, which is one of the main pillars of Islam. The main specificity of this fasting is that the quantitative composition of food is not regulated - everything is allowed to eat, and only the time of eating plays an important role. Let's figure out how to properly hold Uraza for a woman so that long-term abstinence benefits the body. After all, in addition to spiritual purification, Muslims fast to improve the body.

Why keep Uraza in the month of Ramadan

Fasting in Uraza contributes to the expiation of sins that were committed during the year. Ramadan is 30 or 29 days (depending on the lunar month) of strict fasting. During this period, Muslims should set aside time for donations, almsgiving, reflection, contemplation and all sorts of good deeds. However, the main task of every believer is not to drink water and not eat food from dawn to dusk. Unlike the Orthodox fast (Assumption or Great), in which it is forbidden to eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, during Uraza it is allowed to eat any food in moderation.

The main activity of Muslims in Ramadan is prayer. Before sunrise, each believer makes a niyat (intention) to observe Uraza, and then eats 30 minutes before dawn and prays. Namaz during the holy month are held in mosques, where Muslims come with their children or at home with relatives and neighbors. If a believer in the month of Ramadan is in other latitudes, then, according to the Hanafi madhhab (teaching), he reads the obligatory morning prayer according to Meccan time.

How to hold Uraza for a woman

During Uraza, Muslim women, like men, are prohibited from intimate life during daylight hours, and some especially believers prefer complete abstinence from sexual contact throughout the entire thirty-day fast. Traditionally, after sunset, believers gather in large families to eat dishes after a day's fast. Women prepare meals during the daytime, so they are allowed to taste the food while it is being prepared. Men are strictly forbidden.

How to eat properly

In the first days of Ramadan, you have to starve for about 20 hours, so imams (Muslim priests) advise eating foods with a lot of fiber: oats, millet, barley, lentils, unpolished rice, wholemeal flour, millet, legumes. The morning menu of a Muslim woman must necessarily consist of fruits, berries, vegetables, meat, fish, bread and dairy products.

It is better not to complicate your Ramadan menu with culinary delights, but to give preference to light salads seasoned with yogurt or vegetable oil. Such food does not irritate the stomach, improving digestion. To make fasting easier, broths made from lean beef, chicken, lean fish, or vegetables are helpful. In Ramadan, women should refrain from fried foods, completely replacing them with steamed or stewed foods. In the process of cooking, you need to dose the following products that stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid, which irritates the walls of the stomach:

• spices;
• garlic;
• caraway;
• cilantro;
• mustard.

For dinner, Muslims are advised to cook low-calorie meals and not get too carried away with meat. During the day during Uraza it is forbidden to drink water, but after sunset it is advisable to drink from 2 to 3 liters of water to replenish the water balance. Nutritionists, while observing Uraza, urge to exclude carbonated drinks, replacing them with natural juices, mineral water, herbal teas.

Prayer

The obligatory prayer for all Muslims who hold Uraza is the Tarawih prayer. Its time comes after the night prayer of Isha and ends shortly before the appearance of dawn. Namaz Tarawih is better to read together with other believers, but if this is not possible, then it is permissible to read the prayer individually. In general, Islam is a religion that welcomed the attendance of collective prayers, and the mosque promotes communication when joint prayers are performed that praise Allah and the Prophet Muhammad while reading the Koran.

What not to do - prohibitions

Prohibitions during the period of Uraza are divided into strict and undesirable. Strict prohibitions are classified as actions that break the fast, and require mandatory compensation for one day of Ramadan 60 days of continuous fasting at any other time. These include: intentional eating, vomiting, and sexual intercourse. Also, during Uraza, you can not take potions, capsules, tablets, make injections, drink alcohol and smoke. Undesirable actions in Ramadan that require only replenishment (1 day of fasting for one violation) include:

1. Eating out of forgetfulness.
2. Involuntary vomiting.
3. Swallowing something that is not medicine or food.
4. Touching the husband, kisses that do not lead to sexual intercourse.

At what age do girls start fasting?

The girl begins to keep the post from her adulthood. A Muslim child reaches puberty when he reaches 15 years of age. Girls are allowed to fast even earlier if menstruation has come or if they have their own desire. If all of the above signs are absent, then according to Muslim customs, the girl should not fast.

It is difficult now to overestimate the importance of a 30-day fast for human health. Even science has proven that when starving, the human body is cleansed of excess weight, salts, bile, under-oxidized metabolic products, breathing normalizes. The experience of centuries shows that Uraza is the most effective method to get rid of various chronic diseases: allergies, gallstones, osteochondrosis and migraine. During fasting, defense mechanisms are increased, the immune system is stimulated, and the aging process is delayed.

Beginners need to know that all sorts of excesses are excluded this month, and there are special rules for eating and drinking. Immediately after sunset, the fasting person eats only light food, and a couple of hours before dawn - solid food. Such food is considered pleasing to God, therefore it serves the forgiveness of sins. At the evening meal, it is desirable that a mullah or a person who knows the Koran well be present, he will read suras and talk about the deeds of the Lord. Secular conversations are not prohibited during the evening conversation.

Can pregnant and lactating women fast?

Women in the postpartum period or during menstruation do not observe Uraza - this is confirmed by the relevant Sunnahs. As for pregnant and lactating mothers, they can completely or selectively refuse fasting at their discretion, especially if they are afraid for their or their child's health. As for making up for the missed fast, the woman makes such a decision on her own.

Without full ablution

Sometimes, for some independent reason, a woman does not have a full ablution, and fasting has already begun. For example, menstruation ended at night, or marital intimacy took place, or spouses overslept the morning meal. This should not bother a woman in any way, because complete ablution and observance of Uraza are in no way interconnected with each other. Ritual purity is needed only for prayer.

When do menses come

According to the rules of Islam, during menstruation, Uraza must be interrupted in any case, regardless of marital status and age. Prayer prayers are not performed either, since a woman does not have ritual purity. According to the rules, the missed days of fasting at the end of Ramadan must be made up one by one in a row or in a breakdown at the discretion of the Muslim woman. But the woman does not make up for the missed prayers.

What to do if it's hard to keep Uraza in the heat

When the month of Ramadan falls in the summer heat, it is very difficult for Muslims to keep Uraza, because thirst increases on hot days, and refusal of water can negatively affect human health. Moreover, during a 30-day fast, it is forbidden not only to drink, but even to rinse your mouth, because drops of water can get into the stomach. In this case, Islam gives some relief for pregnant women, children, travelers, the elderly and seriously ill people.

Fasting one day or intermittently every other day

If a Muslim woman has serious illnesses, for example, diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis and others, then she can keep Uraza not every day, but every other day. Fasting is not so much abstinence from food and water, but the promotion of spiritual growth, the purification of thoughts. But if a woman can keep Uraza with such diseases, then she should eat fresh raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, do not overeat, do not attack food at the Uraz-Bayram holiday, when Ramadan ends.

Video

When a woman holds Uraza for the first time, long before the onset of Ramadan, she needs to set herself up for the fact that this is not a hunger strike, but a great joyful holiday, so that there is a feeling of a fun event. It should be remembered that the fasting person receives a reward, which in Ramadan multiplies all the good deeds of a person. And for violating Uraza without a good reason, a Muslim woman will have to pay a certain amount to the needy and make up for the missed day with any day of fasting. See in the video tips for women starting to hold Uraza:

Fasting for Muslim women and men in 2019

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, the date of which changes every year. In 2019, Muslims begin to hold it on May 16, and on June 15, Muslim men and women around the world celebrate the greatest holiday of Eid al-Fitr. On this day, they give alms, remember relatives and friends, visit the graves of deceased relatives.

Schedule

The time of the predawn meal (suhoor) ends before the onset of the morning prayer (Fajr) 10 minutes in advance. At the end of the evening prayer (Maghrib), one should break the fast, preferably with water and dates, after pronouncing an appeal to Allah. The night prayer is Isha, after which 20 rak'ahs (cycles) of Tarawih prayer are performed for men, followed by Witr prayer.
