As the blessed month of Ramadan approaches, it is time to warm up and get ready to enjoy the exceptionally spiritual, soul-nourishing experience of Ramadan.in Ramazan I prefer to make quick recipes and I plan to spend less time in the kitchen….I prepare most of the frozen snacks and kababs before Ramazan..
