It&#8217;s food I crave, but don&#8217;t always make for myself. I don&#8217;t even seek out too many Indian restaurants (although I would love to). Instead, I learned most of what I know about Indian food from friends- in their kitchens, snooping around pots of curry, pans of biryani and asking <em>a lot<\/em> of questions about what goes into every dish, what the spices are called in English and Urdu, and where I can find all of that interesting stuff that is still considered quite exotic to most of us who didn&#8217;t grow up on the cuisine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/myhalalkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cholay-700.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/myhalalkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cholay-700.jpg\" alt=\"Cholay | Iftar Recipes My Halal Kitchen\" width=\"700\" height=\"468\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite dishes has to be&nbsp;<strong>cholay<\/strong><em>&nbsp;(pronounced &#8220;cho-lay&#8221;).&nbsp;<\/em>I&#8217;ve had it so many times, especially during Ramadan for Iftar (meal that breaks the fast).<\/p>\n<p>This recipe is my version, to my family&#8217;s taste.
