Warning :
excessive uses of spices (Indian) may change your mood, majority of them are aphrodisiac in nature (contact me for detailed list), which may go beyond the proposition of this holy month, as I said in first post.
I’d rather prefer to pray for the innocent kids being killed in name of what not, around the world for no mistake of theirs!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garam_masala
All spices means everything. :)) I am not sure.
When I used to fast a while ago food was the last thing on my mind and whenever it was to be taken it used to be a very low key affair I mean something very simple not like a celebration of food or food festival.
About 1/2 glass of water should be left at the end. Remove chicken bones.
Wash barberries and raisins with cold water and drain. Fry separately in oil over medium heat for a few minutes. Add some sugar to barberries during frying. Thinly slice almonds and pistachios. Soak almonds in cold water for an hour. Thinly slice orange peels. Boil for a few minutes, drain and repeat. Soak in cold water for an hour, drain, and repeat. Finally boil for a few minutes with a few spoons of sugar, and drain.
Check my next comment.. if you stop here you will not get what you wanted. :)

MN what you said is true on breaking fast with 1- 2 dates followed with light snacks as the prophet and his companions did. However we still have not realized this and eat lavish food.
But, we are still the best fit than the vegetarians
Add salt and saffron, then remove 1/2 cup of broth from the pot, mix it together with the honey, and pour it back into the pot. Return to a boil and boil vigorously for 3 minutes.
Put the pita wedges in the bottom of the serving bowl and pour the tharid over them; or serve the pita wedges alongside the tharid and so that guests may put a few in the bottom of an individual soup bowl, then spoon the stew over the bread.
Put the chickpeas into a large bowl, cover them with cold water and let soak overnight. The next day, drain the chickpeas and set them aside.
Put the lamb into a large stew pot and cover it with cold water. Bring to a boil and skim off the foam that rises to the top. Add the chickpeas, onion, ground and fresh coriander, caraway seeds and pepper; return to a boil, then reduce the heat. Break the eggs directly into the pot so that they will poach along with the stew. Let the stew cook for an hour to an hour and a half, until the chickpeas are done and the lamb is tender.
and the Ramadan special "Lamb Tharid"
Ingredients:
3 cups chickpeas
3 lbs. lamb, cut into bite-sized cubes
8 cups water
6 cups finely chopped onion
2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
2 tsp. caraway seeds
2 tsp. pepper
6 eggs
1 tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. saffron in 2 tbsp. water
1/2 cup honey
Enough stale bread for 2 cups of crumbs
6 rounds pita bread, quartered
Mansaf is an middle eastern food
Mansaf is cooked in jameed (the Arabic word for dried yoghurt), which is then mixed with water in a tray to produce a creamy sauce. This is poured into a large stewing pot with chunks of lamb meat. The pot is put over an open fire. As the stew begins to warm, it is stirred to prevent the yogurt from separating.
Large trays are covered with the doughy flat Arabic bread and dampened with yogurt. On top of this, a layer of rice is heaped. The meat is then piled on top. Almonds, pine-kernels and other nuts may be sprinkled over the dish, which is then ready for serving.

Rizks... tere dal bal me kuch kala hai...lol...lol...lol
OK GG with a little more wine maybe I can get over her... :-(
ok Marco, thanks for the info.
Now, share some sizzling receipe or Go Away ! :)
It’s a tradition for Iftar around the world to contain greasy, fried and sugary dishes, as a form of compensation for completing the fasting.
People also tend to eat considerably more than usual in a short span of time. Which has very serious health complications.
An Ideal Iftar should by eating a few dates and water.
Dates “ Tamer or Rutab is the Arabic name” have a revitalizing effect, while water rehydrates and reduces the chances of over-indulgence.
This maybe then followed by a few lighter snacks, light meals, nothing greasy, oily, fired or overcooked.
keep it simple and healthy and enjoy your Ramadan.

How To Cook Tantuni :
Mix together onions, parsley, tomatoes, cumin, chilli flakes and salt.
Use your hands and mix thoroughly. Set aside. Have a glass of lightly salted water nearby when you start cooking.
In a wide, deep frying pan, add enough oil to cover the base in a thin layer.
Heat oil, add meat and saute over medium heat.
After a few minutes, add hot pepper flakes. To ensure meat does not get too dry, keep sprinkling water from glass close by, but be very careful in case the oil splutters.
The moment you have used up all the water, cover the meat with the bread. When the bread has warmed through, remove from heat. Serve lamb with warm bread and onion mix.

BB..I never hated Lucy I always felt sypmathetic to her stories.:(
Here's Ramadan Guideline:
got 'featured' while TLS threas used to 'oopsed'..lol
wonder why BB :)
I will (try to) follow the routine posted by LLR.
We are getting dragged again from the purpose of Ramadan and speaking of an eating Ramadan month and not as Omais said. As grown ups we happened to know how the prophet & the sahabas fasted and definitely not this way.
We have to spend for the poor if you really have that money with you. After the ramadan you all will be back again as normal out of those holy minds. What we all are supposed to do is control ourselves and our lavish mind to impress our friends with those parties, its not at all the meaning of ramadan.
I am waiting for an invite to Iftar party .... :O)
Yummm...
agree with ghazalz, Mix Rooh Hafza with milk and add some tat black beans dunno wat its called in english but in hind its called 'Sabze ke beench" to it for a real refreshing feeling.
Mix Rooh Afza and milk together have it chilled at the Aftaar time, it's refreshing.
prepare some chicken /mutton before hand and make a quick mixed veg. dish from it. Add some pasta in it of your choice to make it complete diet.
Yep... I miss her... just like I miss FS...
FS hated Lucy for posting about food... wonder why... lol
If a houswife refuses to prepare food during Ramdhan how would one manage fasting Omais?
Blister...I know you are missing her..:)
Thanks gypsy for starting the thread! I'm waiting for the light, easy n quick reciepies.
OMG... I thought Lucy was back!
Omais: However and away from idealism food does play a big part in the celebration of Ramadan
sweet
and yes "Ramadan is about prayers & devotion" but we can enjoy some food also .
Where do I get the Masala Powder from ? Does it have to be the special import from Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta
Omais...I didnt know that.. thx for letting me know!! You can make all that for EID..:)
There is no rule to cook different items everyday. The objective of Ramadhan is to Pray , ask forgiveness and fast and help poors.
In this month, we have to fast and feel about poor people.. it is not advised to cook delicious dishes daily and enjoy every Iftar.
here britey try this Masala Omelette :
Ingredients :
3 Eggs
Onions
Masala Powder
Mix all the above in one bowl - Stirr well
Take one pan, and put some olive oil in it
When the oil gets hot, put the above mix in it.
When the eggs gets brownish, take it out on a plate
Garnish with Corinder leaves and start Hogging it with bread or Kaboos....:)
totally yum and i will defi give it a try
well one can try these dishes atleast every weekend in ramadan or for some iftar party
thanx GG , will check the website too :-)
Imteresting recipe.
I think the best way to make the most of this month is by maintaining a healthy balance of nutrients.
Rule Number 1-Avoid foods high in saturated fats; grease and sugar.
Rule number 2-Try to eat foods which are in its most natural state, which are either highly processed or not processed at all.
Rule Number 3- don’t bombard your body with so much food after sun set. Cuz the body would put it all in your fat cells.
Can you give me the recipe for a two egg omelette please..
Too Hard To Be Cooked :O(
The Bachelor life:
Call a restaurant and asked For Mandi or Bryani, to change sometimes KFC is good
Painther food is also part of Ramadan as they need to cook different items every day and also will have friends and family for Iftar...:)
Beef Lasagna would be too heavy for the stomach ! :)
Anyhow, hereis something cool for the Ramadan :-
Sweet Lassi and the Receipe - :)
1 cup of yogurt
½ a cup of water
½ a cup of ice cubes
3 to 5 teaspoons of sugar
A pinch of salt
A dollop of plain yogurt for garnishing
Blend all the ingredients at high speed till frothy.
Add a dollop of fresh yogurt on top.
Makes two to three glasses of Lassi.
I thought Ramadan is about prayers & devotion not the celebration of FOOD?
