Ramadan, a holy month-long observance for Muslim communities around the world officially started in South Africa last week.
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk usually having a predawn meal before the fast begins.
The predawn meal to start the daily fast is called suhoor, while the breaking of one’s fast after sunset is called iftar.

During this month, the Muslim community fasts from sunup to sununder, pray together and hold communal meals.
Chances are your Ramadan menu is already set in stone, but if you feel like adding some more dishes to your celebrations, we’ve found two delicious recipes that might become firm favourites if they aren’t already.
The night before, toss together all the salad ingredients except for the pitta bread and sumac. Make up the dressing and season to taste. Leave these separate until the morning.
The next morning, toast the pitta breads until lightly golden. When cool, tear into pieces and combine with the salad and dressing. Spoon into 2 plastic boxes and sprinkle over the sumac.
