Assalamu alaikum dear
friends…
The blessed month of
Ramadan is almost here. The month when the Quran was revealed to the Muslims as
guidance… that is how important the month is. While we spend majority of our
time in Ibaadah in the form of our Salaah(prayer), recitation of the Qura’an, pondering
over the verses, giving Sadaqah(charity), at the same time we give a lot of importance
to our food served during the Iftar (fast breaking) and Suhoor (pre-dawn meal)
to ensure that enough energy is provided to carry on during the long hours of
fasting.
As days pass by, the shift
is towards healthy eating during the meal times, considering the hazards caused
by deep fried and unhealthy foods after the fasting hours. We, Hasna, Huma and Rafeeda are proud to host a 6 week-long
event on our respective blogs, looking at options for healthier cooking and
feasting. Do you have a recipe that you treasure and think is a healthy option
to serve for the Ramadan meals? Then this is the place for you. The event,
which we have named as “Ahlan Ramadan – The Healthy Way” starts from June 25
and will continue till August 10.
Let us look into the event
rules:
1. The base theme is
“healthy” – usage of whole grains, lentils, lean meat, baking instead of
frying, etc. can be considered. It can be a any recipe with a healthy twist. For example, using whole-wheat flour instead of maida for samosas are welcome even if it is fried.
2. Vegetarian and
non-vegetarian entries can be linked.
3.There is no set category –
drinks, snacks, meals, bakes, etc. are all welcome.
