Mamonia
One can liken this to the desi sooji kheer cum halwa, while it remains the tradition semolina pudding of Syria. Semolina is roasted and then cooked with syrup and a host of nuts and dry fruits with a dash of cinnamon and star anise to seal the deal. It is traditionally sold on the morning of the Eid Ul Fitr by local vendors in Syria.
Bint Alsahan
Another sweet delight, this one hails from Yemen. This looks like a pizza or a crepe. The recipe is fairly simple which involves baking dough in layers, often with a mixture of butter in between, and topping it with honey and nigella seeds.
Kuih
Malaysian Muslims celebrate Eid, locally called Hari Raya, by preparing small, bite-sized desserts called Kuih. These are generally steamed and include wheat, eggs, butter and sugar as primary ingredients. These treats are not usually confined just as desserts but are also eaten throughout the day owing to their small portion size. Apart from Malaysian Eid festivities, these are also included in Chinese New Year celebrations.
