Heartwarming Pakistani Traditions for Iftar and Sehri

Ramadan Recipes

Ramadan in Pakistan brings families together around vibrant Iftar tables loaded with flavorful snacks, hearty mains, refreshing drinks, and indulgent sweets to break the fast, while Sehri focuses on nourishing meals for sustained energy.

These timeless dishes blend bold spices, fresh fruits, creamy yogurt, and crispy textures, creating moments of joy and gratitude.

Special Ramadan Recipes for Iftar

Iconic Iftar starters include crispy Pakoras (vegetable or chicken fritters), flaky Samosas filled with spiced potatoes or keema, soft Dahi Bhallay (lentil dumplings in tangy yogurt), and vibrant Fruit Chaat tossed with apples, bananas, guava, pomegranate, oranges, and chaat masala for a sweet-spicy burst. Cool off with chilled Rooh Afza sharbat, tangy Lassi, or layered Falooda.

For satisfying mains, slow-cooked Haleem with wheat, barley, lentils, and tender meat garnished with fried onions, lemon, and ginger reigns supreme. Aromatic Chicken Biryani layered with saffron rice, yogurt-marinated chicken, and mint, or quick Chicken Karahi and grilled Seekh Kabab pair perfectly with naan or paratha.

Street-style favorites like Chana Chaat (spiced chickpeas with potatoes and tamarind chutney), Aloo Tikki, Spring Rolls, and Bread Rolls add crunch and variety. End on a sweet note with vermicelli-based Sheer Khurma rich in milk, dates, nuts, and cardamom, syrupy Jalebi, creamy Kulfi, or Rabri.

Sehri highlights sustaining options such as Paratha with eggs or keema, oatmeal, dates with milk, or light yogurt-based dishes to keep energy steady.
