New Delhi [India], March 23 : Ramzan, which is considered to be the holiest month in the religion of Islam, has finally arrived. It marks the beginning of the month-long fasting period.
During the 30 days or so, people belonging to the Muslim community exercise restraint in their eating habits and eat only twice a day a pre-fast meal at dawn called 'sehri', and a post-fast meal after sunset called 'iftar'.
Traditionally, the fast is broken with dates and water followed by a light and nutritious meal. However, there are also some special dishes made only during Ramzan and enjoyed at Iftar get-togethers.
Here's a list of the best Iftar meals to try:
1. Hara Bhara Kebab
