Ramadan 2022: Ramadan is almost here. The ninth month of the Islamic calendar is celebrated by Muslims worldwide through fasting, prayers and community. This is also the time when lip-smacking Iftar dishes are prepared and served for breaking the fast.

Iftar-special desserts are equally tasty for their nutritious dishes. We have prepared a list of recipes that you can make at home and relish with your friends and family.
