{Ramadan Special} – Guest Post: Spring Rolls from Febina of Febi’s Cookbook
Salam and welcome! Today’s guest Febina of Febi’s Cookbook is newbie to food blog world….Though being new her blog features so many yum delicacies like Rose Cake, Chicken Skewers, Naan Pizza, etc., Febina loves meeting out new bloggers and this year as she is in UAE, she says she is enjoying Ramadan to full….Febina has bought in yum Chicken Spring Rolls for today’s Iftaar…so scroll down to check out what she has got to say about Ramadan and Iftaar…
Hi to all lovely readers… I am extremely happy that I was invited by Lubna to do a guest post on her blog where really rocking bloggers have already done their contribution and in a way I am feeling proud to be among them, even if I am not up to their mark… I am new into blogging and just started with my blog journey 2- 3 months back and since then what I enjoy most is meeting new blogger friends more than cooking and picturing it… and for Lubna, when she asked me to do a guest post, I was really excited and agreed to do the post… But I was so busy with Ramadan that I couldn’t squeeze out some time from my schedule in sending her my entry.
This time Ramadan is a very special one for me as whole of my family are with me in U.A.E and therefore I feel so happy despite of the scorching heat and long hours of fasting. Ramadan brings in taqwa and we spend most of our time offering prayers and reciting Qur’an. Fasting is not only for our belly but also for our soul. It is something to cleanse our soul from the impurities of sins we have done in a year. We stay away from all kind of wrong deeds on behalf of the purity and holiness of this month and is expected to continue the same way for the coming years..
Coming to the recipe, spring rolls are very popular iftar snack among my family… and we all enjoy it because of its crunchy outside and juicy inside… I love it to be served hot… Whenever we plan an Iftaar get-together we make sure this snack is included in our menu….
