    Ramadan is the blessed time for every Muslim to spend most of the time in prayers. To keep in mind, I am sharing quick and easy recipes that will help you to prepare delicious iftar in a short time.

    All my iftar recipes are recommended for people living in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh who are familiar with local taste. As the Ramadan (Ramzan - Ramadhan) is the month of spiritual purity so these recipes will help you to stay healthy and feel light during the fasting time.

    Normally people complain that oily food in iftar make them heavy and disturb digestive system. So follow the deep frying techniques to prepare fried that absorb less oil and remain crispy and crunchy for a long time.

    20 Best Ramzan Recipes (Iftar Ideas)

    Before starting the recipes, here are some Ramadan Healthy Tips for Iftar and Suhoor (Sehri). So let's delve into the best Ramzan recipes.

    1) Khajoor Shake

    According to this beautiful Hadith, narrated Salman ibn Amir: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When one of you is fasting, he should break his fast with dates; but if he cannot get any, then (he should break his fast) with water, for water is purifying. (Sunan Abu Dawood – Book 13 Hadith 2348) 

    Dates milkshake is recommended for you to boost your instant energy level. Here is 5 minutes recipe of dates milkshake that you can make just before iftar.
