Isn't pilau a Trinidadian style of Guyanese Cook-up?

looks like Ramadan is more about the food

yes it is.....staying away from the food that is

doesn't mean that we don't think about it....especially the first few of days.

i don't think so

cookup is wet/mushy

pilau is more of a dry-down rice....and i usually add.....cloves, cardamom, geera, a touch of garamasala and lots of onion and garlic.

closest to it....is biryani rice, just with different spices.

that' funny

My eating is very simple. I eat a piece of bread in the morning and a small meal at the end of the day. We don't go through the ritual of cooking anything special. I stopped doing iftar at the masjid many years ago. So food is the last thing on my mind during ranadhaan.

Indeed. Unfortunately there are way too many people scattered all over the earth who see more days than meals.
