- Lentil Soup
Lentil soup is a cherished and comforting vegetarian option during Ramadan, offering both nourishment and warmth. This humble yet hearty dish entails simmering lentils with aromatic spices, vegetables, and herbs until they reach a velvety texture.
Commonly seasoned with cumin, garlic, onions, and occasionally a hint of chili, lentil soup provides a rich and flavorful broth that is truly soul-warming after a day of fasting. When served hot and garnished with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lemon juice, lentil soup offers a nourishing start to the iftar meal.
- Firni
Firni is an Afghan traditional dessert that is a sweet and creamy delight during Ramadan. It is crafted from a base of rice pudding simmered in milk and sweetened with sugar.
Infused with aromatic flavors like cardamom, saffron, and rose water, it emanates a fragrant and exotic essence. To add a delightful crunch to its velvety texture, Firni is garnished with chopped nuts such as almonds, pistachios, or cashews, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
At Naan Kabob, it is served in small earthenware bowls or decorative glasses. A sweet cardamom pudding – a delicious finale to your iftar meal.
- Paneer
Paneer, a versatile and beloved ingredient in Eastern cuisine, serves as a delightful vegetarian option during the month of Ramadan. This soft and creamy cheese, made from curdled milk with lemon juice or vinegar, is a staple in many iftar dishes.
Paneer can be incorporated into a variety of savory dishes such as paneer tikka, paneer curry, or paneer biryani, offering a protein-rich and satisfying meal for those observing a vegetarian diet during Ramadan.
