Ramadan Mubarak to all those who observe Ramadan, have a blessed one!
For the Pre-dawn meal or Suhur, I usually have the leftovers from the Iftar. I try to eat healthy for Suhur- fresh fruits, dates, and healthy soups are my best companion.
Main Ingredients needed to make this meal
- Chicken breast
- Mixed Veggies (Frozen)
- Indian Spices ( Chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, fennel powder, garam masala)
- Coconut Milk
- Eggs
- Bread crumbs
- Rice (ponni or sona massori or par boiled rice)
- Almonds ( or use cashew nuts)
- Whole spices ( cardamom, cloves, bay leaves)
First day Pre-Dawn meal or Suhur
Oats and Chicken soup- rich in proteins and oats is a heart healthy ingredient

Snack
Chicken Cutlet– Make the filling with Chicken or beef- the filling can be refrigerated and can be used for making different snacks.
Soup
Ramadan Porridge or Kanji made with Rice and coconut milk– Make a large batch, you can refrigerate this soup for a couple of days.
Main Entree
Chicken Almond Korma– Instead of almonds you can also use cashew nuts. This curry can be refrigerated for a couple of days
You can serve this chicken almond korma with store bought pita bread, tortilla, chapati, roti, pasta etc…or if you like to have rice, have with brown or white rice.
If you are in the mood to make something from scratch, go ahead and make homemade chapatis.
Chapati or Wheat Flatbread– You can either refrigerate the rolled chapti dough, dust each rolled chapati dough with rice flour to prevent from sticking. Or refrigerate the cooked chapatis in a ziplock bag.
Dessert
Pineapple pudding– Make-ahead dessert and can be refrigerated for a couple of days
