So how did you spend your first day of Ramadan? and what did you break your fast on?
This day went rather fast (for me) I was sleep deprived for a few days, and though we had guests today I could barely keep my eyes open..
I woke up 15 mins shy of breakfast.. we had a feat but I wasn't very hungry.. to be honest I still want to sleep some more.. it is catching up with me the deprivation of the past two weeks...
we had rotisserie chicken today, some spinach burek?
stuffed courgettes except ours were stuffed with meat
taro soup
lamb chops
other things which I can't remember as I wasn't sitting on that side of the table..
for drinks we had
Roselle
milk and that thing calles 'khoshaf' I don't know what that is in English..
and qatayef for desert
which I don't care for, so I had oatmeal instead..
nah...is the truth. other batteries doesn't work with my camera. I think both of the brands is callobrating or something...
I had this yesterday
Uncooked spring rolls... I think
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.
Fine Alhumdulillah you?
it came out good i used this recipe: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/556/banoffee-tart.aspx
but for biscuit base i used maryland cookies and added one more tbsp butter and it was fine. And the condensed milk can was only 397grms but it worked out fine for base and only needed 3 bananas lol.
got any dessert suggestions?
tonights iftar is gonna be inshaAllah bean and potato pie.
¾ cup sugar (6 oz / 175 g) (or which 2/3 cup is for syrup, remaining 1/12 cup for gulab jamun)
2 ½ cups water (1 pint / 600 ml)
8 green cardamom pods
2 tbsp self-raising flour (1 oz / 30 g)
½ cup powdered skimmed milk (4 oz / 125 gm)
2 tbsp ghee or butter (1 oz / 30 g)
2 tbsp cream cheese (1 oz / 30 g)
1 – 2 tbsp rosewater (15 – 30 ml)
Milk or plain low-fat yogurt
Oil for deep frying
Ø Put 2/3 cup (5 oz / 155 g) of sugar with the measured water in a wide saucepan or deep frying pan.
Stir over gentle heat until sugar has dissolved, then add cardamom pods, increase heat, and boil for 15 minutes to make a light syrup.
Reduce heat to lowest setting to keep syrup warm.
Ø Combine flour and powdered milk in a bowl.
Rub in ghee or butter, then add remaining sugar (1/12 cup), cream cheese, rose water, and enough milk or yogurt (about 2 tbsp / 20 ml) to form asoft dough.
Knead lightly and roll into 18 small balls.
Ø Heat oil for deep frying. Cook jamuns in small batches, keeping them moving in the oil until they are golden-brown all over.
Ø Remove jamuns with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels for 5 minutes.
Remove syrup from heat. Set aside about a cup of syrup to pour over jamuns later. Carefully add jamuns to remaining syrup. Allow to cool to room temperature in syrup.
To serve, transfer jamuns to individual plates with a slotted spoon. Then add 2 – 3 tbsp (30 – 45 ml) syrup from the syrup that was set aside.
Ø Tip: these small dumplings in a syrup are a traditional dessert. They are usually made with full fat powdered milk. However, since this is not always easy to obtain, this recipe uses skimmed milk powder and adds cream cheese. Therefore, you can alternate the skimmed milk powder and cream cheese for whole milk powder.
Well technically you could of said so by leaving out the part where you think we have all lost our minds. That's not nice at all. Talking directly and not beating around the bush doesn't necessarily mean it should equate to attacks
Ameen to you're du'a. Btw the dots tell a lot too
Well, brother... just because everyone's talking about food on this specific thread, it doesn't mean that's all they're worried about this Ramadhan.
Ameen.
yeap

1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
