The holy month of Ramadan has begun. Ramadan, or Ramzan, is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and a time of great significance in the Islamic faith. It is said that it was in thie month of Ramadan that the Holy Quran was first revealed. Scriptures state that during this month the devils are locked in chains behind the doors of hell, and the prayers made with true devotion reach directly to God. Many Muslims across the world observe ritualistic fasts Roza as a mark of devotion and break their fast in the evening. Iftar, happens to be a spread of delicacies with which they break their fast. From raan, haleem, biryanis, to phirni, shahi tukda and sheer qurma, an Iftar spread could indeed prove to be a foodie's delight. The starters of Iftar calls for a special mention for their sheer richness and flavour. One of our favourite Iftar staples are the melt-in mouth kebabs and tikkas.
