1st day of Ramadan Ifthar I am trying my best to eat healthy food this Ramadan with a balance of everything on my plate - protein, veggies and carbs. Alhamdulillah it was a delicious meal! I made roasted red pepper chicken kofta curry. This time I made it a little different by adding cashew & poppy seed paste (which induces sleep) to the tomato and onion based curry masala and no yogurt. It did help me sleep well. The recipe is on my blog and the link is in my bio. I made the grilled Zucchini following Chef Thomas Keller’s recipe @chefthomaskeller inspired by @kesarkitchen. The zucchini was so soft, juicy and creamy and so good that it did not need any dressing or vinaigrette to go with it. For the salad I julienned the white Indian radish and cucumber, tossed in some chopped ginger and sprinkled some lemon juice, salt, pepper, red chilli and cumin powders. You could add some chat masala if you like. It was tongue tingling and so refreshing to eat for Ifthar. * * * #ramadanifthar #nutritiousmeal #onmyplate #healthyveggies #grilledzucchini @chefthomaskeller #cucumberradishsalad #tasteofindia #fusionfood #canadianfoodblogger #foodbloggersca #fbcigersfood #igersfoodie #food52grams #huffpostaste #buzzfeastfood #mamasecretrecipes (at Brampton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLe_o4gmaC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
