Yummy street food

Ramadan (more commonly known as Ramzan) is a month long Islamic festival that celebrates when Prophet Muhammad was blessed with the spiritual knowledge of Islam that formed the Quran. During this month muslims worldwide fast from dawn to dusk. It is said that a person is to spend his time performing the spiritual practices of the Quran in order to free themselves from worldly yearning and create a stronger platform between man and god. After 30 days of fasting the month of Ramadan concludes in Eid. The biggest reason this festival has become so popular is because of the food that fills the streets post dusk. After fasting for almost 12 hours no one would settle for average tasting food. There are rows of stalls filled with a wide spread of meats, rices, savories, soups and sweets located all around Bangalore. As the evening progresses into night the air fills up with smoke. So many flavorful smells. My favorite thing to do is to go from stall to stall tasting all the different kebabs. Other than the usual chicken, mutton and beef kebabs this time I tried emu. It had a similar texture to mutton but was much less fatty. So glad to be living in this beautiful yummy country!
