Muhallabia is a lovely desert made with rice and milk but unlike a rice pudding the rice in Muhallabia is finely ground which completely transforms the dish!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup rice powder, (you can grind the rice yourself if you wish)
3 cups milk
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup almonds, ground to a paste
1 tablespoon rose water
Pistachios and almonds to garnish
Method:
Pour the milk (leaving a little aside) in to a pan and boil.
Mix the rice powder and the remaining milk together to form a paste and add to it the salt and sugar.
Once the milk begins to boil pour in the rice mix slowly stirring all the time.
Keep stirring the mixture as it begins to thicken and bubble gently.
Simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring regularly.
Stir in the ground almonds and rose water and remove from heat to cool. While the mix is cooling stir occasionally so it doesn't form a hard skin.
Pour into a large serving bowl and garnish with nuts.
Serve chilled.

As for a quick Iftar recipe how about making spicey onion and potato fritters.
Ingredients:
1 Onion, cut into rings
1 Potato, cut into thin discs
1 cup gram flour
A pinch of salt and red chili powder
Method: Place the gram flour in a bowl with the salt and chili and mix with some water - the consistency should be the same as for pancake mix, runny but not too runny.
Dip the onion rings and potato sclices in to the mixture and then deep fry until they turn a nice golden colour.

Nadia says: Hi, this is a lovely simple recipe for onion soup and it's very low in calories.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
4/5 mild medium onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon flour
40oz of water (just over a litre)
Method: Melt butter in a pan, over a medium heat. Add the onions and saute until golden in color, for about 8 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour in and slowly add the water.
Add salt and pepper (optional), if the onion is quite sharp use some brown sugar to offset the taste.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve with French bread or eat alone.

Nadia says: You should try and have light dishes such as pancakes, eggs, cheese, milk and water to avoid intestinal disorders; this is the Sunnah of the Prophet(PBUH), that we should follow.

What should I give to my children (13 and 15) during the month of Ramadan to compensate for the hours of fasting?
Anonymous
12 Aug 2009
Nadia says: Fasting is usually tiring for children at this age, so you must give them fruits and juices that contain vitamins to compensate for the lack which occurs during fasting. It is also important to give them cooked vegetables, including lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, spinach and others.
