Chicken bites

Assalam-u-Alikum, Lubna of yummy food has given Muslims the opportunity in the form of the event Joy From Fasting To Feasting- VI so that we can share tasty Ramadan recipes. I am also sharing one with you. So check the recipe and give me the feedback too. :D

Ramadan is the most sacred month for Muslims. The arrival of Ramadan  often brings delectable foods to our minds, which are equally tantalizing and scrumptious. Ramadan is both a solemn occasion and an occasion of joy also. In this month, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk and abstain from all evil inclinations also. There are two main course in this month of sehr and iftar. Sehr is sort of a meal that is taken before fasting starts and iftar is the meal taken to break the fast. At iftar, everyone usually go on a binge after fasting the whole day. In Ramadan, all of us have a taste for nearly everything; whether it be sweet or savory. Going without food the whole day is actually equal to experience the feeling of hungry and the poor so to share their feelings. Consequently, Muslims feed the hungry and the down-trodden and a feeling of kinship arises when zakat is also given to the poor. So, amidst the environment of fasting I am here to share a recipe for iftar and it's from a cooking show on T.V.
