Re: All You Can Eat!
We haven’t done the whole samosa pakora routine for the last 3 ramzans mainly because of health reasons. We had pasta for iftari yesterday and soup + chaat today. Tomorrow we’ll probably just have roti and salan. And I think it should’ve always been like this at home. I feel like elaborate iftaris sort of take away from the essence of Ramadan. But then, Allah ka diya hua rizq hai, right? Jis ko jitna milla hai wo utna khaye shoq se as long as he’s also giving charity. In Pakistan, my nani maa used to send a plate full of everything we made for iftari to a beggar who used to sit at the corner of the street. Shayad Allah ko yahi baat itni pasand ati hogi k it doesn’t really matter whether you cook samosas for iftari or simply roti.
