Here's a curated game plan for cooking and eating mindfully this month.
hasn’t always been easy for me. In Bangladesh, where I grew up, Ramadan was a family affair. Missing suhoor wasn’t an option because my parents made sure my brothers and I woke up to eat. We were cranky, but we were fed. For iftar, every inch of our dining table was covered with more food than sense: a giant bowl of kala channa, a platter of crisp, syrupy jalebi, and more variations of kabobs I can’t even name.
But as a busy Muslim millennial living in the US, I’ve spent many Ramadans stuck in a loop of poor planning that led to haphazardly put together iftars and suhoors, making my month of fasting difficult and unfulfilling. No matter how intentional I tried to be, I just couldn’t crack the code for creating a balanced Ramadan meal plan. I was sleeping through suhoor, not eating enough, and certainly not drinking enough water.
As it turns out, these struggles are quite common amongst busy Muslims today, according to Nazima Qureshi, a Toronto-based registered dietitian. Qureshi and her husband, Belal Hafeez, a personal trainer, run, a nutrition consulting service that provides culturally relevant health and wellness coaching to Muslims across the US and Canada. Qureshi says that many of their clients face struggles similar to the ones I’ve described.
I asked Qureshi for her advice to help anyone who is navigating the challenges of Ramadan meal planning, then used her expert tips to help curate a game plan for cooking and eating mindfully this month. It includes delicious recipes from across Epicurious and a few from my favorite cookbook authors, Asma Khan and Nadiya Hussain.
