Another half a month to go...

Tonite is Nisfu Sya'ban...we are movin closer to Ramadhan again, alhamdulillah. Tis is the period where I will have my fasting trial-runs, in order to repay the fasts i missed last year. I thot it is good time to do so before the real deal commence the following month. Apparently, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w also fasted alot in the month of Sya'ban & it is also mentioned in a hadith that on tis night, Allah forgives,grants mercy & rewards those who seek Him. So hopefully I'm among those whose sins & negligence Allah forgives.

Tis year I am repaying my fast on my own (usually I'll do so with Mak)...so i've wakin up at 4am & cookin up simple dishes for myself. I'm not very versatile with vege, been cookin carrots, cauliflower, french beans & some mushrooms here n there but come Ramadhan...i dun think my husband can withstand those day in day out, although I learnt that he can simply survive on cereals! Any easy peasy Sahur recipes to share anyone,preferably somethin soupy & not so spicy? Insya Allah I will try to keep up tis enthusiasm & keep my stove busy next month...

Lookin forward to Ramadhan as a wifey!

  3. the husband here also survives on oat & wheat germ drink. drink, so he dun nid that much effort to open his eyes and eat. just slurp and its all gone in 5mins, then back to sleep till subuh.
    so its basically telor goreng and kicap, or this potato dish for me. u can boil the potatoes e night before. and fry them wit eggs and onions the nex day.
    its oat fer me too most times tho now that i've learnt how the wheat germ suffice for the whole day.

  4. Am looking forward to this Ramadhan period as well although i think i can't fast for most part of it....

    Can't help you much with recipes cos sahur for me consists of 500ml of water and a slice of bread if i'm feeling adventurous.

  7. heheh. you can make this.

    1/2 Chicken- any way you want it, breasts or thighs cut up to good mouth size leave the wings, drumsticks by themselves..., make sure you slit them to cook faster.
    Mushrooms

    Gravy
    1 can of diced tomato
    1 onion,1 red capsicum and a few chillis blended well.
    Maggi chicken stock


    Brown the chicken to half cooked, then pour the gravy into the pot. close the lid let it slow cook for 30-45 minutes.
    Add pepper, lemon juice- 3 spoonfuls.

    This one you masak full pot bleh makan 3-6 meals! :) its like Stew! :) Yummmm

    Good luck!
