  2. salad
  3. washing khajoors
  4. prepare some cold beverage (lemonade, or tang or Roh afza kinda thing)

I prepare the salads, chutneys, drinks, dates & set the table. Sometimes if we feel like it, I’ll make the chaats and pastas. I also make a sweet dish, but mommy takes care of all the other main dishes and fried food. Cleaning up afterwards though, is my job :crying:

Re: Your contributions in Aftari

Have to do almost everything!
Hubby helps with different things like cutting fruit for fruit chaat, washing the dates, setting the table, clearing off table, rinsing dishes to load in the dishwasher, cleaning up. But the cooking and whatnot I do myself. One day I will have kids inshallah and set them to work :D

Re: Your contributions in Aftari

Me and my sister share the tasks.... I make the entire thing usually and she'll help making the chaat or one of the appetizers that she's good at.... brothers set the table and help clear the table once done, and my sister usually does the washing.

Re: Your contributions in Aftari

I make sehri every morning and iftaari every few days. The days it is not my turn to make iftaari mum makes it and I make salad/chutney. Brothers get bullied into setting the table:@:

Re: Your contributions in Aftari

My mom makes the samosa filling or egg roll filling days in advance. And then she just fills them up in advance and freezes them for when she needs them. It really saves time for iftar preparation.

Sometimes she makes a mixed vegetable filling for the samosas. She just gets the frozen medly of precut veggies from the grocery store. She fries it up and adds masala to it and mashes it up a bit. Or she'll stuff the samosa sheets with shredded cheese........which saves even more time because cheese is premade.

Since the samosas are made in advance days before.........all she needs to do for iftar is fry them, which doesn't take long. The only other thing she does is make the beverage and fruit chaat, which doesn't take long. Simple!

Another thing my mom does is that she prepares the chana chaat in advance.........and this can be added later to yogurt to make a yogurt chaat..........or it can be added to gol guppay shells.
