During the holy month of Muslims observe a fast from dawn to dusk every day. Worshippers eat a meal before sunrise, which is known as sehri, after which they do not eat or drink water until after sunset when they have the iftar meal. Since they abstain from eating and consuming water for the whole day, it is always good to break the fast with foods that provide energy to the body.

So if you have been wondering of wholesome dishes to break your fast with, you are at the right place. Here is a recipe that chef Ranveer Brar shared, and we thought you must try it.
