Muslim mums & Ramadaan preps?

Salaams

Jumuah mubarak

I have the easy way cause i dont have any family here and my hubbys family which is here we dont get along so I just prepare for the 2 of us.

When I was back home we used to give the neighbours and they us it used to just be a totally different experience the feeling of Ramadhaan is so different that once it passes no matter what you do you will never feel that feeling ever again.

Maybe we can start another thread for the recipes???? just an idea!!!! also if we do maybe we should do the baked savouries not the oily stuff...

What about the ibaadat part of it? Maybe we can also share????

slms all..

jumuah mubarak to all you ladies.

hey jewel.. we all good alghamdulilah.. saarah is ok just battling with a snotty nose at the moment due to her cutting more than 2 teeth at once!! aghhh teething is the pits!!!

i really hope we can keep this thread alive.. would be nice to share some recipes etc..
Bummer i couldve brought my recipe's with and post some for you girls..

Nayeela, where are you staying in Cape Town?
yes we are lucky BUT it kinda gets abit hard nearer to the end of ramadaan coz neighbours insist on sending and we sit with 'what to make' lol i know in my moms street there are about 15muslim houses so everybody send to everybody!!HECTIC!!
please do share some of your Mauritian recipes...would looove to try them (when i do get a chance in the kitchen.. hehe)

anybody have a kwik and easy Quiche (mini) recipe??

Salaamz Moms

Jummah Mubarak

Yes I hope we keep this thread going especially during Ramadaan to give each other more ideas on what to make.

Hope u all have a lovely day & weekend.

Hey Miss K How are u doing? How is little Saarah? Its been a while since we chatted.

Hey Miss K!

You girls are lucky to have family that you can get food from and send to them as well. Its a nice tradition. We do that as well in Mauritius as Ramadan is all about sharing.

What I do here is that I send savouries at least once to 2 of my muslim friends and my cousin. acnnot do more often as I am a working mom too but the rest of teh time, I give food to the beggars. So should count towards something

I hope we can keep this thread going as it will give us ideas on what to make etc.

slm girls..

me.. i am to a working mom and i roughly get home from work on iftaar so there is no time for me to still cook and make stuff.. lucky my MIL has offered for us to break fast with them, we stay on the same property so its not inconvienient for us.

i do however buy all my savouries from a lady who makes and sells divine stuff..so when its weekend i make all the savouries and cakes etc and MIL will see to food.

with us, we break fast, make maghrieb and then who ever wants to eat food there is always something, but not heavy foods.
we still have to consider our neighbours as they tend to send 'cookies' from the 1st day till the last!! kinda like tradition..

honeylove.. i dont know of any 'special' daltjie recipe but i normally make the way you do and sometimes i add some variety, like vienna's or slice potato's in thin thin strips and mix in and fry?or my mom normally adds some chicken breast pieces to the mix aswell..

cape town ladies..ive been looking me mad for one recipe book esp for ramadaan.. its called 'Boeka Treats' my mom has one and in there you will find everything..

i do know of Springroll delicacies in cape town, my mom normal gets my sister to send her a whole load of goodies on a regular basis:)

Salaam Moms

Well Im a working mom so I dont have the time to make my own samoosas or pies. I buy them frozen from this place in Overport.

Yes people do go overboard when they break fast. I also keep it a bit simple. I cook a usual meal, than have some light savouries like pies, samoosas or soup. For the morning we normally have oats or pronutro & a banana & lots of water.

I prepare what Im cooking the night before, as I only get home at 4pm, so the food is ready by the time we ready to break fast.

My in laws also send stuff for us

Wats daltjie?
