Dates Fritters – An easy snack for Ifthar

Iftar is the fast-breaking evening meal of Muslims in Ramadan at the time of adhan (call to prayer) of the Maghrib prayer. This is their second meal of the day; the daily fast during Ramadan begins immediately after the pre-dawn meal of suhur and continues during the daylight hours, ending with sunset with the evening meal of iftar.

There is no one “best” food for iftar, as everyone’s tastes and preferences vary. However, some good options include fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. Dates have numerous health benefits. They are a rich source of fibre, magnesium, potassium and carbohydrates. Today I will show you how to prepare dates fry. Dates fry or dates fritters are a delicious snack popular in Malabar areas of Kerala.
