Ramadan 2020: 9 Iftar recipes to celebrate with your family during lockdown

Ramadan, the holy month of the Islamic calendar will start from April 23. It marks the period when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset to show gratitude. Ramadan requires long periods of fasting. Even though it is hard to follow, many Muslims around the world adhere to strict fasting rules from sunup to sundown. The pre-dawn meal is known as Suhoor, and the fast-breaking meal eaten after sunset is called Iftar. 

Usually, families and friends gather to break the fast by eating the evening meal. But this year, many will break their fast differently amid the lockdown. With mosques and all eateries closed, people are advised to pray at home and maintain social distance. So, most people will avoid large gatherings and celebrate suhoor and iftar individually or with family at home. But that shouldn’t stop you from celebrating Ramadan with a lot of zeal.
