Eid al-Adha is just around the corner! Besides being a spiritual moment for sacrifice and sharing with others, Eid al-Adha is also the perfect time to gather with family and enjoy delicious dishes made from qurban meat. Usually, after the sacrificial slaughter of cows, goats, or sheep, a portion of the meat is set aside to be cooked into tasty meals. This moment becomes even more special when you cook together and share the meal with your extended family. If you’re still looking for Eid al-Adha menu inspiration that’s delicious, satisfying, and perfect for group meals, here are 6 must-try Eid al-Adha dishes for this festive occasion!

1. Lamb Curry (Gulai Kambing)

Lamb curry is almost always a staple dish during Eid al-Adha. This dish has a thick, coconut milk-based broth, rich in spices and aroma. Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon make it even more special. It’s best served with steamed rice or warm rice cakes (ketupat). A perfect main course for lunch or dinner with family.

2. Sate Maranggi

Love satay? Try Sate Maranggi from West Java! The beef is marinated with sweet soy sauce, coriander, and garlic, then grilled without additional sauces. It’s typically served with spicy oncom sambal or fresh pickles. The taste is savory, sweet, and slightly spicy—perfect for a late afternoon family gathering.

3. Beef Rendang

Who doesn’t know rendang? This Minang specialty is renowned for its rich flavors and international fame. The beef is slow-cooked with coconut milk and a complete blend of spices until tender and deeply flavorful. It’s a great special dish for Eid because it lasts long and tastes even better the next day.

4. Lamb Tongseng

Tongseng is perfect for those who love soupy dishes but want something lighter than curry. The broth is thinner, with a sweet and mildly spicy flavor. It’s often cooked with vegetables like cabbage, tomatoes, and scallions. Tender lamb combined with fresh broth instantly boosts your appetite!

5. Solo-Style Tengkleng

Tengkleng is a traditional dish from Solo made from goat bones with bits of meat still attached. The broth is clear and spiced, similar to soup but more aromatic. It has a light yet savory taste, perfect for a hearty family lunch. Don’t forget to serve it with steaming hot rice!

6. Beef Soto

Beef soto (Indonesian-style soup) is a fan favorite that can be enjoyed anytime, including during Eid al-Adha. It can be made with a clear or coconut-based broth and is usually served with bean sprouts, scallions, and crispy shallots. Whether with rice, rice cakes (lontong), or ketupat, soto is a light yet satisfying option for breakfast or dinner.
