Do you give much thought to the traditional foods

Do you give much thought to the traditional foods we make for Ashura and what each dish means?

During the first 10 days of Muharram several traditional foods are made. These include Malido, Khitchri, Raut and Sharbet a sweet drink made with water.

Each of these dishes stem more from cultural tradition rather than holding a solid Islamic significance. There is no proof or evidence that these were foods made as an act of Sunnah. Many of them are made today in commemoration of the hardships that the Ahlul Beit (the prophets family) experienced before they were martyred at Karbala.

Khitchri- The 10th of Muharram is the day Nabi Nooh AS (Noah) came to rest on Mount Arafat in Armenia, now known as Turkey, after the 40 days of rain and floods. He found all the dhals (lentils) in the vicinity, collected them and made Fatiha as shukr (thanks). Today we make Khitchri (rice with dhal) on the 7th night of Muharram in remembrance.

Malido- is made to signify the desert (sand). It was originally made by steaming rice flour and when cooled removing lumps and adding ghee, fresh coconut and sugar. Today we make it with semolina, sugar and butter.

Raut- This is a dry cake made with semolina. It started in India 800 – 900 years ago. It symbolises the dry vegetation or stones that Sayyiddina Hussain RA and his family had to endure. Raut, malido and water would be traditionally eaten as a staple diet for 10 days in commemoration.

Sharbat- made with rose syrup and water is made to signify the thirst of the Shuhada e Karbala (martyrs of Karbala) when there was no water.

Some make fish during the 7th to 9th Muharram because fresh fish wasn’t available back in the day. Dried fish was used to make fish curry.

There are worse ways to remember auspicious times in our history than with food. As long as we acknowledge that they stem from tradition and not religion. And to also be mindful that these are not days of celebrations and festivals but to remember them in a sober manner with the respect that they deserve.

The words “Fine Dining” gets thrown about in t

The words “Fine Dining” gets thrown about in the halaal restaurant space quite casually. Often without qualification. It is worth saying that true fine dining is not merely about plating steak and chips to make it look posh. It is about being creative in the entire process of the meal. Selecting the dishes to serve based on the quality of the ingredients, how it is prepared, constructed and plated and eventually how it is presented at the table.

The Happy Uncles have finally brought a fully halaal fine dining experience to a Muslim market in Cape Town who have waited with bated breath for too long. A chic open-plan restaurant juxtaposed against the urban renewal district in industrial Salt River Cape Town. We got to experience their 6-course menu and chat with Chef Anwar Abdullatief. @the.happyuncle. Check out our latest newsletter for all the details. Link in bio.

Popped in at @chaiandchow’s new permanent location in Benoni. Had me some eggs Benni with an Indian spin to fuel up for the day. I enjoy Farzana’s innovative Indian spin on typical western dishes. If you like good flavour in your food you need to get out to @chaiandchow. And you must try the #Chaibomb! Loved the aesthetics. Check out the gorgeous Instagram booth at the end of the reel.

@hyattregencycapetown located in the CBD, and has everything you would need for a luxury stay. The hotel is centrally located within the historic location of the Bo-Kaap district. On the premises there are restaurants with innovative menus (and the kitchens are halaal), personable and professional staff, a sophisticated look, and their most unique attraction is an in-house Starbucks outlet which is the only one in the centre of the city.

Whether you are from Cape Town or not, this is the perfect #staycation or #vacation spot.

Want a good spot to try out this weekend? We checked out Waku, a fusion eatery in Jozi's Rosebank and we got to wondering what took us so long. It's a good spot for a casual lunch and the dishes we tried were packed with flavour. Surprised to see they also serve burgers and they were huge!

In my latest post, I tell you more about our exploration into Istanbul. This time we cover Taksim, Galata, the famous Saltbae, attend a Zikr and head to Princess Islands.

Taksim is on the European side of the Bosphorous. As the heart of modern Istanbul, it is home to Galata Tower, Taksim Square and the famed Istiklal Street. Taksim square forms a hub from which narrow roads fan out into the rest of the city. One of these roads is Istiklal street, a busy pedestrian boulevard lined with 19th-century buildings, home to shopping malls, cafés and boutique stores. You can walk all the way down Istiklal street which will take you right to the Galata Tower.

The walk down Istiklal street is a treat. There is a great vibe and much to see. Branded clothing shops are everywhere and there are always sales happening. In this area we discovered Saltbae a new franchise restaurant from the famed Instagram chef, separate from the original Nusr'et restaurant. We had some tense moments trying to find Nusr'et in the dark streets one night but I tell you all about that in the full post on the blog.
Hit the link in the bio, cos it's just way too much for Insta.
