Ramadhan Resolution

The month of Ramadhan has reached upon us again. 

Alhamdulilah.

Another round of detoxing and cleansing for the mind, body and soul. 

Every Ramadhan, I would try to my best to have one resolution and commit to ensuring that I accomplished that resolution. A couple of years back I made it a point to break fast every evening with my parents at home. This is a rare moment for us, to sit, dine and talk about a whole bunch of things and then clear the table and off we go for terawih prayers. Every since then, this is the one resolution that I will always try my best to commit to and add another one. 

This year's holy month fell on the early month of June, where I am doubly blessed with blocked leave. I asked myself what shall I commit myself to this year and still ensure that it is part of the Capturing2016 Project? My answer was, let me utilise this moment given to sharpen my cooking skills. After all, I need to record my journey as a couch potato Masterchef. *flips scarf*

Also, I had always wanted to learn the secrets to my Dadi's cooking that my mom inherited. Dadi was an amazing cook and my mom learned a lot from her. I believe it is now my time to learn as well. 

For day 1 of iftar, I learned to make chapati...

and dhal kacang hijau (aka green peas dhal?) I cannot seem to be able to find this kind of dhal anywhere in Singapore. I do not know where or how my Dadi learned this from, but I have to give credits to her on this as this dish is one of favourite and it did not take as long as I thought it would. I am taking baby steps to learn cooking properly and I think I can increase to a toddler's step next.

Dear all, 

On this holy and blessed month, I and on behalf of my family and friends, seek forgiveness for any of our wrongdoings which we may have caused knowingly or unknowingly. May we be blessed and be elevated us in this beautiful month. 

Love, 

Me
