I personally absolutely dislike eating elaborate Iftaar because it means burdening the women-folk who are also fasting and even if its not a burden they should spend their time in Ibaadah rather then wasting their time in cooking and making food.

Well actually, a woman gets loads of thawab for cooking and making food, as she helping her family open their fasts with halaal food that she

made while doing dhikr of Allah.

I do agree with not making such an elaborate iftaar though. In my family (ie my and my mom's house), we usually have dates and milk, and it's sort of a family 'bid'ah' to have potato bhajiya (pakorey). My mom also makes potato bhajiya for the people in our local masjid,

.

That is interesting.I've heard of pakora. what do you mean by Desi? Does it mean native?

Desi usually means someone from South Asia or who has roots there.
