Brahmi Aur Besan ki Sabzi

 

 

 

Ramzan or Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic Calendar observed by Muslims worldwide as the fasting month.While fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food or any  liquid. Muslims are also instructed to refrain from sinful behaviour that may negate the reward of fasting.Spiritual rewards (thawab) for fasting are also believed to be multiplied within the month of Ramadan.Fasting for Muslims during Ramadan typically includes the increased offering of salat  (prayers) and recitation of the  verses from the holy Quran.

We have decided to dedicate this 43rd #Foodiemonday  #Bloghop theme #RamadaanSpecial to all our Muslim brothers and sisters who are fasting in this holy month with so much devotion. We will be sharing a variety of dishes for you.

My Contribution to this theme is a humble recipe Brahmi aur Besan Ki Sabzi
