Eid is one
of the greatest Muslim celebrations, all centred on the subject of food and the
family construct. Marking the end of Ramadan The Feast of Breaking the Fast has to be a pretty spectacular
culinary occasion!
Participants
of Ramadan all come together in unity with one enthusiasm, to revel in
beautifully flavoursome foods! With taste buds feeling slightly neglected, the banquet
must really employ some kick and excitement to remind Muslims what they have
been missing out on. The sacrifices they have made throughout the month seem a
million miles away on the first taste of that spicy dish.
Chillies are
an essential component to the feast with an attempt to put the spice back into
life and return to a normal eating and sleeping patterns. Chillies reboot the system,
releases endorphins that leave you feeling energised and fulfilled.
They say
that chillies stimulate the circulation as well as the appetite, kindling the
flow of saliva. The body illustrates its own love for chillies and possess a
craving that doesn’t solely intrigue the taste buds but the whole body.
A friend of
Chaat!, Joanna Plumb, had dedicated her life to the chilli plant. Her guest appearance
on the cookery show Sunday Brunch last
week illustrated just how much we all love chilli! Joanna owns the UK’s first
‘Pick Your Own’ chilli farm and thrives off of our daring streak to taste the
hottest of the hottest. Her Chilli Nursery
in Bedfordshire hosts a plethora of chillies, all ready and waiting to blow the
palate away!
