For this event , I have tried to find bloggers and foodies on various platform of social media.  One such blogger was Ridha  from  Indonesia whom I came across on Instagram. Her blog Ridha’s Kitchen is collection of Indonesian cuisine. She is living in Sweden but have beautiful memories of Ramadan back home in Indonesia. 

Assalamualaikum, Hi. My name is Ridha. I was born and grew up in Indonesia (Borneo to be specific) but now live in Sweden with my husband and 2 beautiful daughters. First I want to thank Huma for inviting me to join this Ramadan event. I’m honoured.

Before we go to the recipe I want to share a little bit about how we celebrate ramadan and Eid in Indonesia.

When Ramadan is nearing you’d be able to see a lot of small kiosk that build suddenly just for ramadan in some empty spots / filed / parking lot. The purpose is for people selling snacks, food and drink for breakfasting / iftar. They will start selling from around ashr time. And people will start crowding the kiosks an hour or 30 minutes before maghrib. Continue reading →

Chicken Seekh Kebab is spicy , succulent & melt in mouth kebabs & perfect for barbecues and filling for a wrap or sandwiches.

Assalamo alykum. How is your 2nd day of Ramadan going on ? Well for me today , it was quite a busy day with making adjustment with office work.  Sunday being the first working day , I was loaded with my office work and the time for iftar  arrived pretty soon. For these kind of days , I have pre planned meals stocked up in my fridge. So  Chicken Seekh Kebab made a huge entrance at our dastarkhwan. We filled our grilled kebabs in our Samoon bread Continue reading →

Assalamo alykum & welcome to the first Chapter of Ramadan – An Event to Share. Today our guest is beautiful blogger Madelon , who blogs at WayMadi.nl. Her food is reflection of her different roots. A perfect word would be a multi culture foodie. Today she is sharing with us Sudanese Baba Ganoush.

Assalamu ‘alaykoum all, I’m delighted to write this article about my Ramadan experiences. As I am an converted, or as I prefer to say, returned muslimah this will be my 10th Ramadan in shaa’ Allah.

My family is a very mixed composition, so our Ramadan tables are not so conventional as I often see in my social media timelines. My parents gave me roots from Indonesia, Portugal and the Netherlands Antiles. My husband is also from mixed origin.

We prefer our meals to be nourishing and balanced to provide sufficient nutrition for the next day of fasting and to supplement the ones lost in de past day. We live in the Netherlands where the fasting days are very long alhamdulillah. Due to chronically illness I am not allowed to fast those long days so the past years I’m taking the major role of making iftar meals for my husband and possible visitors. I also prep a lot each year so my kitchen time is not more then average which leaves me time for ramadan activities with our toddler. Continue reading →
