Happy Holy Month of Ramadan

I personally beleive that once Ramazaan starts in Makkah all muslims should begin fasting.  Like this year. It started on tuesday in Makkah. And here in the US i started fasting on Tuesday.  

Originally posted by ill_teknique cok_gec yes the bosnain baklava is very good.

 Baklava, favourite dessert. Is the Bosnian Baklava little different than the Turkish or Syrian one?

Well, the idea of Mecca as a center is great. However, i know that countries like Indonesia and way way east might sight the moon before the night or the crescent ,which stays for minutes after its birth, reaches Mecca. So what can they do? ignore the crescent and wait 7 hours for Mecca to sight it? Their day would have started already.

That is why I prefer the idea of multiple crescent spotting centers on vrious Islamic countreis that are administered by committees representing a collected group of scholars. Mecca can be the center of that network, and for announcements.

So you fasted Tuesday? How was your first day? Mine was fine especially that i was able to sleep till 11 am

hmm intersting, do you have any pictures of the Bosnian Baklava?

i dont mila might.

After looking at the baklava recepies I noticed that walnuts and sugar water are key ingredients that might make them different from some other baklavas. Certain kinds also have pistachio sprinkles on top or throughout (Gaziantep). Other kinds of baklava have the main flavor from honey instead of sugar water (Arabic?) Then there is the use of milk too (sutlu nuriye).

yea we call that "sheera"

 

Thanks Day I for the reciepe. Yes, "Sheera" is the heated water & sugar that is boured over the Baklava. For some reason, whenever I think of Baklava, it has to be with Pistashio. I guess not all?
