Assalamualaykum,
Dear readers ,Today my topic is miscellaneous I thought why not to write about , Ramadan !!!
Well when the word ramadhan comes in mind we have fasting, reading Quran, doing extra ibadah, and EATING IFTAR!
Well yes, we worry a lot about our Iftar. That's not a bad thing to worry about. It's natural.. But trust me just eating samosas, meethas, pakoras, haleem etc. should not be something we should worry about.
In fact, the entire year you can eat many things as much you want according to your diet, but in Ramadan you have to be more careful about your diet. Since Ramadan is over and Shawwal is still going on, we can still adapt these ways in our fasts.
We should know that our sahur, our Iftar should be healthy, but we hardly follow it .
My dear readers I live in east Asia, so according to that, I have a list here
What you should avoid for sahur:
Acidity increasing food items, like heavy meat or chicken curry, any rice, nahari or sticky oily food items which might lead to indigestion .
Things that you should eat in suhur :-
Food like bread, milk, yoghurt, egg, fruits, every thing which you feel is easy on your stomach , and don't grasp much water thinking you won't feel thirsty later on in fast , but that's the wrong concept. Infact water is the only thing which will digest fast and make your stomach feel heavy but later on you might feel hungry. So don't make your stomach full of tanks of water !!!
Avoid eating rice at dinner or at suhur, because that too will digest quickly and might result in hunger later on .
Now coming towards Iftar, things that you should not eat in iftar :-

Besan pakoras - or any besan oily items, cholay, cream and ghee included meethas, peas included items, cauli flower, any item that has huge amount of meat or oil should be restricted because the effects will occur when you go for taravi .
Things that you should eat in Iftar :-
Yoghurt, fresh Laban, fish, milk, fruits, juices of fruits are very essential for vitamins and minerals in body. In fact, if you add milk to your meetha's in more amount than your ghee /oil - then you will have a more calcium rich diet than any fat rich diet and SOUPS definitely !
I never understood the concept behind making the barley boil so much at stove, until I went through this Hadith.
Prophet (Pbuh) said, “You recently recovered from illness, hence you are weak, hence don’t eat more. Therefore, that lady prepared a dish from barley and beet root. Then, the Prophet (Pbuh) told Hazrat Ali “Eat from it, it is better for you”. (Ibn-e-Maja, Sanad-e-Ahmed, Tirmizi)
Hazrat Aisha (R.A) used to order preparation of Talbina for sick person and used to tell “Even though the patient dislike it, but it is highly beneficial for him. (Bukhari)
You can get this barley in any flour shops, it's called in urdu 'jau' !
This is the main thing for your energy and good digestion. It removes every illness of stomach and most importantly it is recommended by our prophet Mohammed sallalahu alaihi wasalam. So don't think much when it's about following Sunnah !! Just go for it !!
How to break the fast :The best way to do Iftar is to open your fast with dates, then water, then offer your Maghrib salah, then come back to eating, but don't fill your stomach much that you feel heavy and difficult in Salat without khushu and khuzoo. Try eating less in variety foods!
Narrated Anas ibn Malik The Apostle of Allah Sallallaho alaihey wasallam used to break his fast before praying with some fresh dates; but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates, he took some mouthfuls of water. [Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 13, Number 2349]
For cooking lovers,, my best advice is to please cook with small quantities, with best quality and definitely with variety.
And remember if you cook thinking its a way to please Allah not humans, then your food will be cooked more delicious than ever. Try to share food with your neighbors, relatives and invite a fasting person so that he/she could eat at your home and it has a lot of sawaab !
Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam declared, "If a person gives iftar to a fasting person in this month, his sins will be forgiven. And he will be given as many rewards as has that fasting person," some of the Blessed Companions said that they were not so rich as to give iftar meal to a fasting person. He declared as a reply, "The rewards will be given even to a person who gives a date as the iftar or who provides water to break the fast or who offers a little milk" [Bayhaqi]

Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalm stated, "He who gives water as iftar to a fasting person in Ramadan becomes as sinless as the day his mother bore him."
Before I leave, let me remind you to not forget about eating habits at EID. Usually, people stay on cautious diet in Ramadan but give up at eid. So my dear readers please take care of your health in this month of blessings as well as Eid. Don't forget the month is to make your sins forgiven, but not to just eat !!!
May this post of mine , help you guys a lot! Ameen :)
