Festive Meal Planner

Ramadan Weekly Menu Plan 2

I planned my very first Ramadan weekly meal last week and I was very proud of myself. Your feedback even made it all the more better, and very encouraging. So I am having a go at it again, and presenting another weekly menu. Ramadan Kareem

Day 1

Sahur – start with Savoury pancakes. You know how I make my pancakes (recipe HERE), it takes less than 10 seconds in a blender. Just throw everything in the blender and whizz. That’s all. To make it savoury, add finely chopped onions, chilli or ata rodo, finely chopped vegetables.

followed by

Ogbono soup and Semolina. Recipe for Ogbono HERE

If you would rather not have solid food you can try Spaghetti tossed in a tomato sauce with peas and grilled chicken. While you are making the spaghetti and tomato sauce, simply season the chicken and throw in the oven. That way the entire meal gets ready right about the same time.

Iftar – start with a sandwich. This is something you can throw together very fast, to stave off the hunger, while you cook. Sandwich options are lightly toasted bread, spread with butter or margarine and fill with boiled eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and left over chicken from Sahur. You can also open a can of sardine. Recipe for Sandwich fillers HERE

followed by

If you didn’t have solid as Sahur serve Wheat flour and Ewedu and Egusi Stew (egusi stew is egusi without vegetables). If you did have solid, simple Boiled Rice and Stew will suffice. Recipe fro Egusi HERE

Day 2

Sahur – Cereal of your choice with skimmed milk.

followed by

Coconut rice and Fried fish. Recipe for coconut rice HERE

Iftar – After prayers, fry Samosa’s and Spring rolls. Serve with tea while you prepare dinner

followed by

Oven roasted potatoes – sprinkle over salt, curry powder, thyme, olive oil and seasoning cube. Serve with a rich fish stew. You can substitute swordfish with Cod, Crocker fish or Cote fish. Recipe HERE, take out the alcohol

Day 3

Sahur – Start with a Milkshake and Gurundi/biscuits

followed by

Boiled plantains served with shrimp and spinach stew. This is like a mini efo riro with lots of shrimps or prawns. Recipe HERE

Iftar – Start with Giz-dodo. Recipe HERE

followed by

Boiled Yam and Garden Egg Stew. Serve with Fruit juice

Day 4

Sahur – start with Fruit Salad and Yoghurt

followed by

Ekuru, and ata din din – Ekuru is made just like Moi Moi, but you blend the beans plainly (add nothing). After grinding, mix Kaun (potash) with water and add to the beans mixture. Steam just like Moi-Moi. Serve with Ata din din. The recipe for Ata din din is HERE

Iftar – Start with Indomie noodle soup. Recipe HERE

followed by

Jollof rice and Dodo with grilled meats. Recipe HERE and HERE

Day 5

Sahur – start with Toast bread and vegetable salad

followed by

Fry Fish in batter and serve with Chips

Iftar – start with homemade fruit juice and assorted peppered meats or Kilishi. Mix at least 2 fruit juices and blend with Ice cubes

followed by

Tuwo shinkafa/Tuwon rice and Obe eyin (palm nut stew/banga soup). Recipe HERE

Day 6

Sahur – start with Oats and milk. Remember to sprinkle in nutmeg and a drop of vanilla while boiling the Oats

followed by

Spaghetti and Meatballs sauce

Iftar – serve a Fruit Lassi and mini Pizzas

followed by

Pounded yam and Groundnut soup. Recipe HERE

Day 7

Sahur – start with Kunu or Zobo drink and crackers to wake up the appetite and fill the belly. Healthy and nutritious too

followed by

A combination of Fried yam, cocoyam, sweet potato and plantain. Fry plantains separately as it is the softest. Yam, cocoyam and sweet potatoes can be fried together.

Iftar – start with Assorted meat Peppersoup. Recipe HERE. Again, this is fast and easy to prepare, which buys you time to cook the main meal

followed by

Fried Rice and Assorted meat. Recipe HERE 

I hope this helps. Ramadan Kareem

About Dooney

Dooney is the blogger, recipe developer and photographer for Dooney's Kitchen. I spend my days trying to figure out creative ways to redefine Nigerian food, either by creating a new dish itself using ingredients in ways that have never been used before, or changing the approach to Nigerian cooking using kitchen gadgets.

      Boiling potatoes are so bland, there is nothing you can do to save it. If you don’t want to fry potatoes, roast it instead. Slice baby potatoes in half, and season with salt, knorr chicken cube, dry pepper, thyme and dried rosemary. Sprinkle over a little vegetable oil, and throw in the oven. To even make it better, roast the potatoes with chicken, and thickly cut onions, carrots, and garlic. I hope that helps

Nigerian food, is bold, multi faceted, rich, colourful, spicy and with varied nuances, as you move from tribe to tribe. To describe Nigerian cooking, one would say it is fiercely traditional and somewhat dogmatic, but Dooney’s Kitchen proposes to simplify methods and steps that have been passed from generation to generation whilst also challenging some of these methods using Technology. The New Nigerian Cookery isn’t just about creating a New Nigerian Kitchen, or should we say a more technology aware Nigerian cooking experience, but it encompasses redefining recipes too. Come along on the journey, and welcome to one of the best online resources for Nigerian food.
