After a day-long fast for a month, the evenings of the holy month of Ramadan are all about a number of delectable recipes. From healthy Moroccan Harira to delicious mutton haleem and biryani, the options are endless. Here’s a list of the top five Ramadan dishes.
This delicious dish features a rich, slow-cooked stew of mutton, lentils, and dalia. Here, mutton is mashed into a paste and garnished with ghee, onions, and lemon.
These are skewered, marinated, and roasted lamb, beef, or chicken. Shish kebabs are often considered a staple for iftar owing to their savoury taste and protein-rich nature.
Ramadan-special mutton biryani is a one-pot, fragrant meal commonly featuring tender marinated mutton layered with saffron-infused basmati rice.
This is a traditional aromatic tomato-based soup with its origin in Morocco and Algeria. This dish combines meat, lentils, chickpeas, and tomatoes with spices.
Kunafa is a classic Ramadan dessert. The Middle-Eastern dessert is a cheese-filled, golden brown, sugar-syrup-soaked delicacy often scented with rose water and garnished with pistachios.
