The blessed month of Ramadan along with Eid and the six sunnah fasting....all have come to an end.This time Eid was celebrated with my co sisters at their residence (my H's  brothers and few of his other relatives are all in Doha).Uppa (my Dad) had gone to India for two weeks (Eid holidays) and came back with  so many of Umma's  freshly made snacks and Beef Roast..and the best combo with Beef roast is pathiris or ney pathal(at least for my hubby) which I had to make.Today's post is Beef roast(not my preparation... but Umma's)
