Ramadan 2022: We've compiled a list of mouth-watering, must-try Iftar recipes that you may enjoy throughout the month to stay focused and satiated.
Ramadan, also known as Ramazan or Ramzan, is one of the most awaited sacred times of the year in the Islam faith, and the celebrations have begun. During this holy month, Muslims pray, ponder, and fast from sunrise to sunset. Those who fast at this time (after eating suhoor or sehri, the first meal) break their fast with Iftar, a meal shared with friends and family. Iftar is traditionally preceded by dates and water, then an Iftar-specific spread of sweets, vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. So, to keep you focused and satiated throughout the month, here are some dishes to try.
