The holy month of Ramadan is being celebrated with full force all across India! This festival is of immense importance to the Islamic community and is celebrated by praying to God and observing fast all month long. This year, Ramadan 2022 started on 2nd April and shall culminate on 2nd May, with Eid-al-Fitr being celebrated the very next day! Devotees observe a day-long fast from sunrise to sunset known as ‘Roza’, and during this time, people abstain from all kinds of food and drinks, even water. One can only consume food during ‘Sehri’, i.e. before sunrise and ‘Iftar’ i.e. after sunset. Keeping this in mind, we have found a quick and easy dessert recipe that can be enjoyed for ‘Sehri’ as well as ‘Iftar’ and it is dates kheer!
