Indulge in the spirit of iftari

Chhola bhaja, piyaju, beguni, jilapi, alur chop - crispy, flavoursome, colourful - a diverse range of crunchy snacks called iftari, these items here are major attractions during Ramadan. But the availability of these munch delights are not limited to just one month anymore; you can get them in different places around town, throughout the year. Banani Bazaar is one such area where you would find these items.

Tk 5 to 10 worth of chhola bhaja, piyajus and begunis from Tk 2 a piece, Tk 10 for a filling large-sized jilapi or the potato chop - they are hot, tasty, and churns essence of aromatic spices.

If one can spare five to ten minutes, they will make you the ‘ultimate iftari mix’ with all the items mentioned above with specials add-ons – muri (puffed rice), green chili, shredded onions and coriander leaves, few drops of mustard oil and a large dash of lemon squeeze and you are good to go.

The best thing happens when both flavors - hot (chili) and sweet (jilapi), meshed together, - burst into a unique zest in your mouth. It’s like relieving the memories and spirit of iftari and companionship from a single spoonful of that fantastic mix.

UFS mining shelters include the Rapid-Span, Supa-Span, and Alu-Span range of products, these structures are all easily
disassembled and cartable making them excellent for interim
facilities with resale options. Some mining firms lost 30 per cent of their share values
in the early August stock market meltdown.

A large number of workers, particularly in the professional
occupations, will become eligible for retirement in the
coming years, and some companies may have trouble coping with the loss of many
experienced workers to retirement at a time
when the industry is expanding production on dryer machine and ball
mill machines.
