Ramadan Cooking

[Yousef's iconYousef]

Ramadan is only two weeks away so I’m really curious what people are gonna be cooking! I’d love to hear what people plan to cook on futoor/iftar and suhoor respectively! As well as meal prepping.

Curios what everyone’s meal prepping plans are. I also love how different futoor looks in each country.

I plan to start prepping a few days before Ramadan. I’ll be buying Sambosa and Springroll breads and start making the filling then start filling those. I’ll probably make tons of rice and chicken and biryani and stir fried stuff. If I’m empty handed though I might just make mi goreng haha. For dessert, I’ll make either Umm Ali or Qaymat based on the day.
Cheers and early Ramadan Kareem!

Explain to me as a someone who isn't from the Middle East what Ramadan is.

Basically we control ourselves from eating until maghrib (night prayer) while also not doing and saying bad things

From the way you guys were describing it i thought it was something like Thanksgiving, thank you for clearing it up for me.

It was pretty similar, and you're welcome!

In my household the only thing we really prep for ramadan ahead of time is our cheese roll thingies. Stores literally sell its dough in bulk for that sorta thing. Most days we just carry on with our usual rotating meals with Sunday being the day where we eat out and all.
Ramadan Karim, man!

Forgive me if I sound ignorant, but Ramadan involves fasting right? Do you typically have a dinner after the fast?

Yes, after the Maghreb Prayer.

Wow, there are a lot of people from the Middle East in this forum.

I was surprised too when I first joined.

Yeah, didn't really pay attention to it until now. People in most English-speaking forums are generally from the US/EU so it's pretty interesting to see some cultural diversity.

I'd say that even outside of the M.E. Ramadan is celebrated but it depends of the region.

Absolutely.

Some people I knew often forgot the later part heh (but were scolded by their parents anyway).

"Variety is the spice of life, that gives it all its flavor" as they say.

Yup, agree. Variety is pretty cool.

It probably depends on how much of your population is from the Mid East, Here in Portugal the majority of the population is either Catholic or Christian and the immigrants we get here are usually from Africa or Brazil so we don't really celebrate any other holidays that aren't the usual affair (Christmas, Halloween, Easter and whatnot)

I'm a big fan of middle eastern food. I've been to Turkish and Moroccan restaurants, so I'm not sure how similar that is to the rest of the middle east, but I like the Kebabs, Shwarma and Falafel.
