Ramadan is a special month in the Islamic calendar that involves fasting from dawn to dusk. During this time, it is customary to break the fast with a special meal called Iftar. Iftar is a time for families and friends to come together and share a meal. There are many traditional Ramadan dishes that are enjoyed during this time, such as samosas, pakoras, and dates
