The love for
food and understanding the importance of both the consumption and abstinence of
it is the core of the holy month of Ramadan which ends in the breaking of the
fast in Eid-al-Fitr. Ramadan
or Ramzan is the ninth month in the
Islamic calendar when Muslims around the
world engage themselves in prayer, fasting, charity, and religious devotion. During this holy month, Muslims around the
world abstain from eating and drinking during daylight hours. There's more to
Ramadan than fasting and avoiding food
and drink from dawn to dusk. it’s a month of spiritual detox The holy month of
Ramdan helps to cultivate self-discipline which will keep one practicing the
rest of the year .
All over the world ,Muslims are encouraged to take their meal before dawn, and break the fast
immediately after sunset. The fast is traditionally broken by eating dates and
drinking water. The Ramadan fast is one of the five pillars or basic
institutions of Islam which help strengthen a person’s faith, obedience to God
and every part of their life, be it
morals, manners, food or dress.
- Shahadah: Professing your faith by affirming that there is no deity but God and Mohammed is his messenger.
- Salat: offering Prayer five times daily.
- Zakat: Giving to charity to benefit the poor and needy
- Sawm: Fasting during the month of Ramadan.
- Hajj: Making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime.
A typical Islam’s household would start their
day with a plate of Shir Khurma for breakfast which is a vermicelli and milk
pudding spiced with cardamom . Vermicelli is an integral ingredient which finds
it’s place in multitude of dishes and sweets eaten during Ramadan and Eid
across the world. I take this wonderful opportunity to include this wonder
ingredient in my contribution to our 43rd Foodie Monday Bloghop theme of

ReplyDeleteAlka, you have brought back memories with this recipe.My friend and I would go at least once a week to this bakery in Nairobi that even made yummy snacks. We would buy these egg chops as they are called here and savour them. I love your idea of adding vermicelli along with the bread crumbs.
