For a few years, the UAE has been a buying and selling center for spices, and Emiratis have combined numerous of them so that you can create a combination named Bzar or “Bazaar”. Soup is a great dish to stop a quick at iftar time and the Bzar Hammour is a dish for sharing together with your family or pals, and consequently always an excellent reminder that Ramadan is all approximately sharing and being collective.
