EID IS JUST around the corner and a decadent dessert is a must in the menu. While classics like sewai
and sheer khurma are a must to add more sweetness to the celebration with a delicious and skillfully crafted Chocolate Bomb. Executive Chef Sarafat Ali of Aminia, the iconic Mughlai restaurant in the city, gives a low down on how to master the skills of making the sinful dessert thereby improving your chances of a double Eidi (token of money given to young members of the family on the occasion). Eid Mubarak!
