A month of blessings, a month for new beginnings, a month of forgiveness, a month of restraint, a month for giving. One of my favorite months of the whole year is here. Ramadhan to me, means all the above and more.
It is a time that I love to spend with my family. I cannot imagine iftar (the time of breaking your fast) sitting on an empty table on my own. Actually, when I moved to Dubai, it was one of the first things I was most excited about. The prospect of sitting at a large table brimming with food commonly eaten in Ramdhan and bustling conversation to match.
Aaaah, that is what I missed the most when I llived in london- that sense of togetherness, that feeling of belonging. I feel so blessed that I have a complete family now with whom I can share this blessed month with.
So this August, I invite you to my home, my kitchen, my dinner table. I will be making foods that we normally break our fasts with, foods that are commonly found in most households. Comfort foods that evoke memories of childhood iftars.
Thank you so much to everyone who took part in Monthly Mingle in July. I was overwhelmed with all your entries. All so individual. I got to discover new blogs and revisit some old favorites. Below is a round up of all your beautiful creations.

Ramadan Mubarak Sukaina :) I am assuming you will make a daal but still can't figure out how will date fit in that..or may be that's because i am not a big fan of dried date. But definitely curious to know the final dish.

Happy Ramadan! I don't know much about Ramadan, but am really looking forward to the posts you will be sharing.
I absolutely love your photos, they are all so beautiful, but the photo of the lentils is my favourite.
Happy Ramadhan! They all are beautiful clicks with great recipe.
Even the simplest of pics look so pretty in this blog. Yes, it must be one of the saddest things ever to sit at a dining table all by yourself, especially during festive occasions.
Lovely round up Sukaina! And am waiting for the August treats on your blog.
Happy Ramadan to you and your family Sukaina! Can't wait to see what you have all planned up for us.
Lovely roundup!
Thnaks so much for stopping by and commenting. I won't be using all the above ingredients in the same dish!! Rather, these are ingredients that will commonly come up in my Ramadhan baking.
Thanks again.
Ramadan kareem!!!
I LOVE Ramadan and especially the yummy arabic food we eat.
Nothing trumps that ;)
Wonderful round up. So happy to be a part of it.
Ramadan Kareem!! and hope u r making some Haleem and sheer korma... forgive me if I have spelt them wrong... but I would love to see the recipe of sheer korma... :-)
Happy Ramadan Sukaina to you and your family. At one time of our life we used to do Iftar with a close friend of ours who did Ramadan. Now they are at the other end of the country and I really miss being together cooking and sharing with her.
Beautiful round up! wish I could participate and I can't wait to see the delish things you post.
