Ramadan Mubarak to all! Time just seems to fly and here we are celebrating yet another Ramadan. A holy month for Muslims all over the world, a month of worship, a month of being closer to Allah. It presents the perfect opportunity to cleanse our mind and soul, to share with those in need, to rekindle and re-balance our lives away from materialistic things and lead us towards spiritual awakening.

 

While the focus of Ramadan isn’t necessarily food, it still ends up getting most of the attention. Well, it’s definitely not a bad thing as it’s also a time to be grateful for what you have and also share your bounties with those in need. I am sure we all have fond memories of Ramadan associated with food.

Today I am sharing a recipe I made during Ramadan when we were in Singapore – Avocado milkshake!! I had some overly ripe avocados on my hand and had no idea what to do with them. So I searched online and found a simple recipe with just 3 ingredients. The recipe has evolved since then and has been a part of my Ramadan specials…
