Ramadan recipes
During Ramadan, most Muslims fast – not eating or drinking anything during hours of daylight. It is customary to eat a meal (known as suhoor), just before daybreak and another meal (known as iftar) after sunset. We’ve brought together ideas for what to eat at suhoor and iftar in our Ramadan recipe collection, including smoothies, koftas, chickpea dishes, chaat and halwa.
Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, and this year falls on the 21st April. Find our recipes to celebrate Eid here.
