During Ramzan, the practice of breaking the daily fast has adapted to what’s available—but it’s not food that people are missing Dates, fruits and home-made samosas stuffed with soya keema, washed down with fresh watermelon juice.
This was Day 1 of iftar at Shabana Salauddin’s home in Mumbai. In a pre-lockdown scenario, the samosa filling would have been minced meat and they would have welcomed neighbours, friends and extended family to partake of this meal.
Salauddin is the co-owner of the home-chef venture Ammeez Kitchen that serves Konkani Muslim cuisine. During Ramzan, if the brand’s social media followers express an interest in sampling the iftar food, they receive a free invitation.
