Ramadan Diaries: A 30 Day Magic Carpet Ride Day 11 - 15


🎬🌙✨Ramadan Diaries: Day 11 ••• Sehri time’s always difficult because I am to stuff myself like a Turkey 🦃 The Power Paratha is quite a load ••• “Which favors of your Lord will you deny?” Goes the Quranic verse ••• There are places where feeling weakness from hunger is not a Ramadan experiment, but a lifestyle ••• Makes you want to cry ••• Being sensitive, empathetic, sentimental, and weak from emotion is a good thing and it should translate into kind acts! ••• Don’t forget to donate this month! Money 💰 I ended up teaming with Sara to calculate and pay out our Zakat (annual alms due) and we both felt the happiness and relief sink in ••• I did some cooking later on (sugar free Sooji halwa, peas pulao) and defrosted Sara’s Chicken Shinwari ••• Twix was the treat of the day! ••• and the divine chocolate cake (also by Sara) with a sheen, rich chocolate glaze was for dessert hour with the nieces ❤️ ••• A much needed Chai ☕️ followed! “Ek Garam Chai Ki Piyali” is the post-Iftar mantra! But a tiny serving of Fruit Chaat comes before that because in the words of Mom “Issmein Vitamins hotay hain” ••• 
🎬🌙✨Ramadan Diaries: Day 14, 15 ••• A beautiful full moon 🌕 (last Supermoon of 2020) greeted us as Ramadan halved! ••• Sara’s baking is at an all time high! The Brookie (Cookie Brownie hybrid) contributed to the killer carb count and stunned our senses with a fantabulous taste explosion! ••• I am working on getting the recipes for you all ••• I took to the mid-Ramadan cleanup session (vac n mop) and made everyone some Karachi Chicken Biryani (recipe in Albums) ••• 🍷 Rooh Afza, Fruit Chat and Chai continue to be our Ramadan Baes!
