Wholesome and Delicious: Easy Gluten Free Iftar Recipes for a Pure Ramadan Feast
hello guys welcome or welcome back to my channel I’m for if you’re new here if you’re an old subscriber thank you so much for coming by so it’s literally around like 5 now I just woke up from my lab because today I’m feeling a serious pain I’m on my period so I didn’t have time I had the time to read the Quran.
Because I wanted to read it on my phone I don’t want to touch it because I’m spiritually impure at the moment so I can’t touch it so I just listened to it on the TV and then reside along with the man not like um touching the indirectly because there are different types of um opinion on.
Touching the Quran while a person is impure so I choose not just to touch it at all but I can read it with uh from my heart and maybe if I see it somewhere then I’ll read it so to the things that we’ve be making today is um party jell fries then um Millet uh finger Millet and peanut um pop that’s the pudding B I.
Don’t know whether is aara or Puff Puff I’m not sure maybe there’s a side have also not sure so let’s just get right into it we see into the video so so on the side note today’s video you not see me like reading the Quran directly from the text uh from the book just listening to it then um I didn’t like pray or anything.
Because I can’t because I’m spiritually impure and in Islam you can’t pray or touch anything holy except when you are spiritually pure so at the state of period I’m spiritually impure so yeah if you don’t know this or you’re not Muslim I’m just trying to clear this up let’s go I listen to this instead of touching.
The Quran then I recited along the man with the man does that make sense yes and my my mom brought two plants for me strawberry plants as some garlic chips so yes I want to make this clear um just because we are considered spiritually impure that doesn’t mean we’re physically impure so yeah that’s one thing and yes straightened in Islam.
Is a form of worship also on its own and the person man straightened get tons and tons of rewards their Dua that’s their prayers get um answered easily than a regular person so I just want to state that so it’s just that you cannot touch the Quran and you cannot pray like the Sal lot you cannot do it and there also other act of worship that you cannot do.
Because you’re spiritually impure not only menstruating so there are other things that you cannot do also if that makes you spiritually impure not only menstrating so I just want to say that also I hope nobody will misunderstand me or anything so I just want to clear this up just spiritually impure there are different types of beliefs I’m sy so I.
Believe that there are other Sun that also believe that you can touch it but depending on what you believe yes you can read it you can recite it but without touching it directly it’s a holy book so yes I already recited but I just can’t touch it so I just want to make that clear so sorry yes I can also use gloves.
Or any barrier not for me to touch it directly I can also touch it depending on the school of thought you follow so I can also touch it I’m just finding out that now my mom is telling me yes you can touch it depending on what you follow you can use a barrier in your hand so that you cannot touch it directly you can read it from a tablet.
Like I said before I can read it from a phone or watch the TV andde along from a memory anyway one you choose so yes let’s get right into today’s video I started all by making the fire to get ready for the cooking then I made my peanut milk by blending it with water and straining it separating the Shar from the milk then I went outside to add.
It to the fire I added some wash rice and I’ll allow it to cook till the rice is cooked I also washed my rice a tip to wash rice you can add salt to it so to remove the sarch faster I strain it I also made my fresh herbs this is fresh Time Fresh Rosemary and lemon rose rose and lemon thyme that’s what is the other.
Plant is called and some um chives this is um chives of garlic chives that my mom just brought so I added the m to the fire added enough water for the stock of the food I wanted enough stock I also added some ginger last minute I pound everything together I add the mix to the meat I added some my some of my dry herbs some seasoning some salt some.
Onions and cover it and allow it to cook cover it and allow it to cook I switch the burner so that I can have space to toast the rice I added the rice to the pan add a little bit of oil mix everything well I cover it because I was doing something else again you don’t need to cover it to toast the rice so we going to toast this to L.
Brown the reason why I toast my rice is because this rice is not basy rice so this is the easiest way to make rice that will not stick it to each other and this is my pepper mixed Tomatoes bell peppers cot bed and some garlic I blended it in a blender I kept it aside and I fried my meat as you can.
See then I made my puff puff dough this is proofed yeast then I added it to the flour mix with sugar and um just a little bit of sugar or sugar to your taste mix everything well together to develop the gluten you can use mexer to uh to do this the same process with.
Bread making just that this is a watery Farm it’s more watery than a bread dough so you’re going to cover it in allow with rice in a warm place the m is fried already so I’m going to make the rice I added my oil to the fire I also added in my fresh herbs that I minced earlier then I’ll add my tomato paste then my pepper mix mix everything well adding.
Water adding my turmeric some seasonings iow the water to boil then add in the rice mix everything well you cover it and allow it to steam and cook on a low heat so that it will cook all through while the rice was cooking here I am.
Cleaning up um cleaning all the things that I use then I went outside to check on my peanut milk mixed with rice so I’m going to add this finger Millet mix this is just finger Millet that was soaked and Blended to a smooth paste I added in the.
Tumer um the Tamarin water to it then I’ll mix it in you’ll keep stirring until it thickens like you see in a bit here it t is already thickened so your pudding is ready you’re just going to have the fire so here is here I’m like mixing my the dough is already risen the puff puff dough you’re going to mix it very very well scoop it with your hand.
And test the oil if it’s hot enough if you already your oil is hot enough you don’t need to do this you can skip the process the step so I buried in my green beans inside the rice cover it and allow it to keep cooking then I went back to my puff puff the oil is hot already so I added I start scooping the um the butter or dough into.
The oil so that it to fry on both sides this is how it will look if it’s started frying on both sides after it’s done frying you’re going to pack everything in a plate and that is done the rice is done the puff puff is done and that’s all the food for today I’m done with cooking and cleaning the kitchen let me show you the.
