“During the time of iftar, I keep in mind how to keep the food as healthy as possible. Of course, there are conventional food like, bora, beguni, chhola and lots of fruits. The foods I always keep on the table for iftar are mainly mango, banana, yogurt, and cucumber. These are very healthy and give lot of energy especially after a long day of fasting.”

“Since I have children and they are at their growing stage, I make special items. I try my best to avoid deep fried food, so I prefer to have cereals during the iftar time. 

Here is a quick iftar recipe, for a custard cream yogurt. Take: 
* 1 cup of full cream
