Allah’s blessings and adoring it and donate money or edibles things for the poor.
In this month, individuals have fast all day along, Sehr and Iftar are the time
when all people sit together and wish to enjoy their meal with their beloved
ones.

without considering health issues. When we talk about Iftar meal, People
consume more spicy food than healthy food. We thought that without samoosa,
pakora, Dahi Baray, chana chaat, and Papri chaat, our iftar meal will not
complete. Instead of a healthy meal, we add a very little part of fruit salad and
juices in our Iftar, which is not good at all. In Ramadan, we ignore part of our
health, but later on, we faced serious health issues.

Here we are going to discuss a few tips for healthy Iftar meal that not only
make you healthy, it also makes your Iftar delicious.
