Today is a big holiday for Muslims - Uraza Bayram. It marks the end of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan. The holiday of breaking the fast is celebrated for three days. Vladimir Seroukhov, a correspondent for the MIR 24 TV channel, found out 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 fasting in the holy month of Ramadan.

“It was easy to keep the fast, no difficulties. At first there were difficulties, it was necessary for the body to get used to it, but in general everything went smoothly, automatically,” said Aziz Adzhimambetov.

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

“A prerequisite for the start 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 bowl 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 and fried in the oven. The table is decorated with peremmelche - a traditional Nogai dish, this is yeast dough with minced meat. “A very tasty treat,” concludes Zara.

Housewives usually prepare in advance for the holiday 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 holiday sweet is chak-chak. This is finely chopped fried dough with condensed milk. But the main dish, of course, is aromatic pilaf. Not a single important holiday in Muslim families is complete without it. Each housewife has her own recipes.

“Every year I set the holiday table. I have a big family. Neighbors come by sometimes. 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-Adha is celebrated by all Muslims, even those who did not fast. The holiday of Uraza marks the end of strict fasting, which lasted 30 days. He is one of the main ones in Islam. It is celebrated for three days.

For one of the main Muslim holidays, which marks the end of Ramadan, it is customary to set a rich table. Life #Food found out which dishes are required to be prepared, what housewives pay especially close attention to, and also how long a holiday meal can last.

During the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, Muslim families have dishes of stewed lamb, fish and vegetables, fresh bread, green and black olives, dates, raisins, figs, pistachios and almonds on the table.

Aidan Mamedova, journalist, blogger:

Since Eid al-Fitr lasts three days, it is customary to prepare a lot of food in advance, and then go to visit each other and treat yourself. Since Islam is practiced by different peoples with its own unique culture and gastronomic traditions, then the concept of a festive table is different for everyone. For Azerbaijanis, its obligatory attribute is Azerbaijani pilaf (it differs from the Uzbek one). It is prepared from long basmati rice, and the filling is served separately - meat, dried apricots, prunes, raisins, stewed in oil with onions. Often chestnut is also added to it. In addition, on the Azerbaijani holiday table you can often find dolma made from grape leaves. Among the Tatars, a holiday is not complete without remembrances ( approx. ed - fried meat pies, similar to belyashi ) and manta rays. Among sweets, Azerbaijanis have traditional baklava, Tatars have chak-chak.

Zarema Tagirova, culinary blogger:

First of all, it is a holiday of sweets. Be sure to prepare a lot of cookies, chak-chak, baursak ( approx. ed - donuts fried in a cauldron ), urama (brushwood), all kinds of pies with seasonal berries and cottage cheese. Guests of honor are greeted by serving olash - a dish with vegetables and meat, or tukmach - soup with homemade noodles. On this day, they are sure to give gifts and treat them with sweets, especially to children.

So, we present to you the most famous Muslim recipes.

What date is Uraza Bayram holiday 2018 in Russia

This year Uraza is celebrated on Friday, June 15th. According to the Muslim calendar, the date is constant - it is the first day of the month of Shawwal.

The Muslim calendar is based on the movement of the Moon, not the Sun, and it also has 12 months, but all months are lunar, which are much shorter than those we are used to. Therefore, the date of all holidays among the Muslim people shifts by about 10 days in the opposite direction every year.

This year Uraza in Russia ended on June 14

In 2018, the celebration of the end of Uraza, the 30-day Muslim fast that takes place during the holy month of Ramadan, will begin on June 14. According to tradition, Uraza ends with the holiday of Eid al-Adha.

To determine the day of a religious holiday, Muslims use the Hijri, the traditional lunar calendar in Islam. The day when Ramadan ends is always out of date because the Hijri is 11-12 days shorter than the solar calendar.

The end of Uraza 2018 ends with the holiday of Eid al-Fitr

The apogee of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan is considered to be the holiday of Eid al-Adha. A few days before the celebration, women do the cleaning, the whole family bathes and puts on clean linen. In the evening, relatives exchange dishes and give gifts. Nobody works on Eid al-Adha. Solemn prayers are held. Then everyone sits down at the festive table. Also, on this day it is customary to visit parents and go to cemeteries to see the dead.

Traditions of Uraza Bayram

Muslims dress beautifully and then go to the mosque to pray namaz. The religious ceremony takes place before dawn. However, only men can go to the mosque, since women must stay at home and do housework.

All Muslims sincerely congratulate each other on the holiday and visit for traditional holiday dinners. The table is traditionally served with soups, roasts, lamb shish kebab, salads with nuts and feta cheese. Wine and light liqueurs can be offered as alcohol. Culinary traditions depend not only on religion, but also on region.

Many Muslim families buy and exchange gifts. It is believed that you need to give seven gifts to different people to attract prosperity to your home.

Charity and help become obligatory on Eid al-Adha. It is also recommended to visit sick and elderly relatives, and visit the graves of deceased loved ones.

What to cook for Uraza Bayram

How we relax on Uraza Bayram we know what date it starts and when it ends, too, when the services begin, I also wrote, now let's prepare the festive table.

During the Breaking of the Fast, the tables of the Muslim people are full of delicious and traditional dishes. Meat must be present, namely lamb. Recently, barbecue has been prepared from lamb; previously it was replaced by meat snacks, salads with meat, roasts and rich soups.

Each republic and country has its own traditions of setting the table and traditional dishes. For example, in Saudi Arabia, you must eat dates on an empty stomach, and the dinner table should be overflowing with delicious dishes and mouth-watering recipes. There is such a sign that if you follow all this, then next year will be favorable.

In Tatarstan, pancakes and spicy pies are a must on the table.

Lent for the faithful is coming to an end. It will be followed by an important celebration - Eid al-Adha. To break the fast, festive dishes should be prepared. Study the suggested recipes, set a magnificent table and invite friends and family to share with them the joy of completing the fast.

The month of Ramadan is a special period for all Muslims, because it is one of the months of the year in which, according to the instructions of the Koran, one should cleanse oneself of sinful thoughts, repent, and turn to the Almighty.

This time is called Uraza (Oraza) - a period during which Muslims observe a special meal schedule, significantly change their diet, and also spiritually cleanse themselves through prayers.

The end of this period is Oraza-it. This is the holiday of breaking the fast.

On this day, you should invite friends, family and friends to jointly celebrate the end of Ramadan (Ramadan). Cover a rich dastarkhan to make the celebration a success.

We suggest making the following dishes:

Lagman

This national dish of the Uyghurs will give an unforgettable taste sensation to household members and guests.

The combination of products developed over centuries creates an unforgettable aroma and taste. The main thing is to follow the recipe exactly.

For 8 servings of lagman you will need:

lamb (tenderloin) - 1 kg;
radish (daikon or Margelan) - 1 pc.;
eggplants - 2 pcs.;
green beans - 200 g;
onions - 4 pcs.;
sweet red pepper - 2 pcs.;
large tomatoes - 6 pcs.;
cilantro and celery - a bunch each;
garlic - 7 cloves.

To achieve the ideal taste of the dish, use, in addition to salt, hot pepper (chili) - 1 pod and 3 tbsp. l. ground coriander.

Long homemade noodles are the basis of lagman. To make it, use the following products:

water - 400 ml;
chicken eggs - 3 pcs.;
flour - 7 tbsp;
salt - 3 tsp;
soda - ½ tsp.

Vegetable oil is also useful for frying ingredients and lubricating noodles. 150 ml is enough.

You can implement this recipe by going through several steps:

Prepare the noodles.

Beat eggs with salt and 1.5 cups of water.
Sift the flour and make a well in the middle. Pour the egg mixture into it and gradually knead the dough.
Make a soda solution - mix soda in 50 ml of water. Dip your hands into it and wipe the dough. Knead until it becomes elastic.
Knead the dough and make a rope out of it. Repeat these steps three times.
Roll out the dough into a flat cake, cut it into strips up to 3 cm wide.
Pull these strips out and form them into long ropes up to 1 cm thick. To simplify this process, dip your hands in vegetable oil and pass the strip between your fingers, twisting it.
Grease the dish where you place the prepared noodles. Leave the finished spirals for 30 minutes. Don't forget to cover with cling film.

The noodles should be boiled in lightly salted water, preferably 1 bundle at a time or several at a time for up to 5 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon or colander, carefully place into portioned plates and drizzle with oil.

Prepare sai (gravy). For this:

Cut the lamb into small pieces.
Chop all the vegetables into strips, cut the pods in half, chop the greens.
In a cauldron, fry the meat until golden brown, add celery and coriander. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add vegetables to the meat and simmer until fully cooked. If there is little liquid in the cauldron, then add a little at a time the water in which the lagman was boiled.

Prepare laza chang (seasoning).

Chop the cilantro and garlic, mix with finely chopped or grated hot pepper. Add 50 ml of heated vegetable oil to this mixture.

Place noodles, sai and seasoning in each bowl.

Baursaki

This is one of the favorite dishes of Kazakhstanis. It is characterized by ease of preparation and availability of products. Baursaks are light, fluffy and extremely tasty.

If you want to cook airy baursaks with a golden crispy crust, then use this recipe:

chicken eggs - 4 pcs.;
sour cream - 50 g;
sugar - 5 tbsp. l.;
salt and soda - 1 tsp each. without top;

The main thing in baursaks is the dough. To prepare it:

Add soda, salt and sugar to sour cream. Stir everything thoroughly.
Beat in the eggs and mix everything thoroughly.
Grind the cottage cheese in a blender so that there are no lumps, sift the flour. Add these ingredients to the sour cream mixture.
Make portioned balls and fry in a deep pan in a large amount of vegetable oil.

Beshbarmak

This is the leader in popularity among the dishes preferred by Kazakhstanis.

We suggest preparing an unusual beshbarmak from lamb offal.

For this dish use:

ribs (lower part) - 1.5 kg;
heart - 4 pcs.;
kidneys - 6–8 pcs.;
onions - 3 pcs.;
greens (cilantro, parsley) - 1 bunch each.

You will also need flour (400 g) and chicken eggs (4 pcs.). For frying, take vegetable oil (0.5 l).

Hot pepper and cumin are suitable as special seasonings for this dish. Just like salt, add them based on your own taste preferences.

Prepare beshbarmak in this way:

Preparatory stage involves the following actions:

Processing meat by-products: rinse the ribs and remove the film, cut off the vessels from the hearts and cut them into eight pieces. Peel the buds from films, cut them in half and soak in water for 1–2 hours. This way you will remove the unpleasant odor.
Chop the onion into half rings.
Prepare the dough: add eggs and a little salt to the flour. Knead the dough and roll it into thin flat cakes. Cut these blanks into strips, and those, in turn, into diamonds. These pieces should be dried naturally. Therefore, leave them for 40–60 minutes, sprinkled with flour.

Heat treatment products:

Boil ribs and hearts in salted water. Add the peeled onion and parsley sprigs. Drain the cooked meat in a colander.
Fry the boiled semi-finished products in vegetable oil, add kidneys and onions cut into pieces. Simmer over medium heat until done. Add salt and cumin as needed.
Pour out ½ of the broth, and add chopped onion to the rest. When the liquid boils, throw the dough diamonds into it. Cook until half cooked (approximately 2-3 minutes). The dough should be dense.
Place the meat components on a large platter and place the diamonds on top. Sprinkle the dish with chopped herbs.
