Ramadan Mubarak to you all local guides!
It’s the holy month of Ramadan. Every year we Muslims fast for a month. Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. This year we have started fasting on 25th April and which might end on 23rd or 24th May depending on the sight of the moon of the next Arabic month.
In Ramadan, we practice many religious and cultural practices. One of the most common practices is sharing Iftar meals with others. This could be sharing with the poor or with our friends, relatives, and neighbors. Like every year this year, we have shared Iftar meals.
Last year, I had shared this post with you describing a buffet iftar in a restaurant. But due to COVID-19 this year we couldn’t go out for Iftar. Every day we are doing our Iftar at our house. After reading this post by @InaS, I decided to share this practice with you so you know our religious and cultural practices.
In this photo, you can see that several dishes and fruits have been prepared to serve in plates.
Now I will share a few photos of the most popular foods we eat in Ramadan. I could have shared them in a collage but I didn’t. Because I want you to have the closer look so you get the best idea of these dishes. ?
Piyaju
Piyaju is the most common food here in Ramadan. Everywhere in Bangladesh, it is a must item in Iftar.
Chola Bhuna
This is another must-have item in Iftar. This is prepared by roasting Chickpeas. We eat this with Muri.
Aloor Chop
Aloor Chop is another common item in Iftar. This my favorite one ? I usually eat many aloor chops every day. This is prepared by smashing potatoes, then frying them by coating it with besan.
Dim Chop
Dim chop is made by boiling eggs, then frying them by coating it with besan. I forgot, Dim means Egg in Bangla. ?
Beguni
Beguni is another Ramadan special dish. You will love the crisp and flavor of eggplant.
Noodle Chops
This one is new to our menu. Due to the rise of youtube recipe channels, we are getting to know many new items. This is my new favorite. Usually made by mashing potatoes and then coating with noodles. I like the crisp and noddle flavor.
Kichuri
Khichuri is another popular item in Bangladesh. Though we do not eat it in everyday Iftar we make this several times in Ramadan month. It is made several variations like vegetables, beef, chicken, etc.
That’s all shots I got. There are many items but I have not shot all of them.
After all dishes and fruits are prepared now it’s time to serve them in plates. It takes a lot of time to prepare these meals and serve them.
This is how it looks after serving them in plates! We are done with serving. Now each of us will take two of those plates and we will go to each of our neighbor’s doors to share our food with them. It is not just the foods, it the token of love towards them. They also share their meal with us in another day. This chain continues and we get to taste different items throughout the Ramadan. ?
I hope you liked the culture of this sharing. Have you written a post about food or Ramadan recently? If yes, please share the link of your post in the comment so we can read.
