The holy month of Ramadan is here, and by now, you must have skimmed through at least 10 articles/per hour — all of them telling you to make the right choices, adopt healthy eating, drink water, avoid carbs...well, you get the idea.

All these features (and people writing them) are 100% on-point. And we too, are on board (at least intentionally) with the idea of a healthier Ramadan BUT seriously, where in the world do we find the willpower to stop staring at these crispy, cheesy and utterly mouth-melting Iftar delicacies?

The blessed month of Ramadan is right around the corner. This means, every morning (for 30 days), one-fifth of the world’s population will unify to abstain from worldly pleasures. Almost 2 billion Muslims will wake up at dawn to observe a fast till dusk.

It’s almost mesmeric to see thousands of families and hundreds of nationalities to follow a single schedule of life. From their passport colour to their daily feast, everything differs YET the spirit of the holy month remains universal.

Blessed and joyful as it is, the holy month of Ramadan can be a challenging time, especially when you have a hectic day. Hunger and thirst combined with a prevailing sense of restriction result in mood swings, arguments and boredom — things that are in total contradiction with the essence of fasting.

Food, as always takes up a great deal of time and effort not in just in our daily routine but in our minds too. So, instead of spending good hours trying to figure out what to cook in a cranky mood, it’s better to plan ahead.
