An iftar to Remember

The iftar market shows no signs of cooling as Eid nears and people begin to leave for their homes away from the capital. Despite people preparing to trickle out, street carts remain lined with all kinds of iftar goodies imaginable. Like some sort of culinary magic, the edible goods on display keep getting larger. Gigantic jilapis complement colossal pieces of chicken. If that doesn’t satiate the appetite, why not turn the corner and opt for some scrumptious lamb roasts? In the month of fasting, the iftar servings on offer border on the extravagance and ensure a full stomach to make it through another day. The scents seduce and tantalising taste do tempt. Of course, the giving in happens when the fast breaks. Before then, we can all feast with our eyes! The photos were taken from Chawk Bazar in the capital.
