Default What to offer the Arab Jamaaths in their meals.
Assalamu alaykum

This had been a mystery for a long time.

We Indians would like to offer the best to our guests. Among the guests there are honourable guests from foreign soil who visit our masjids, we would like to serve them the best.

But some how we are not satisfied with what we offer to our Arab guests in jamaaths.

They won't eat chillies; green, red, pepper, power nothing. Then what to offer them. There are guests from Saudia, yemen, sudan, jordan, libya, egypt, algeria, qatar, phalestine, French and german arabs, tunisia, dubai, etc.

We request the member on SF to help us to know their eating habits. So that we can offer them the best on the dastarkhwan (meals spread sheet).

Why don't you ask them what suits them the best?

Last time when an Egyptian Jamaat came to our masjid, I was thinking about which type of food should I cook that contains no spice but yet delicious.
For breakfast its easy. We served bread, boiled egg, jam/jelly, fried vegetables and tea.
For lunch, I cooked rice and chicken curry using oil, onion, salt, sugar, milk, tomato and some flavouring spices. I was amazed seeing that they liked it! Also I fried some fish which has less bones.
For night we served bread (roti), beef curry (using oil, onion, garlic, salt and a little amount of flavouring spices) and fruit custard.
Tea and fruits can be served throughout the day.

Biryani types of dishes with little or no spice.
Salaads
Yougurt drinks (not too sweet).
Humus with pitta bread
The arabs in general have better diet then us asians.

When the french arabs come they dont eat the local meat! (they only eat meat if they do with their own hands) so we give them raw vegatables

With the other non-indo/pak/bangali jamaats you have to cut out just the spice

Hmmm, lets see. for foods they like:

labnah with za'tar and olive oil. They also like to eat it with cheese.

hummus with za'tar and olive oil

tahini (sesame) paste with 'asl (honey) and bread.

They like baked breads instead of fried breads.

green tea mixed with mint

regular brown tea mixed with sage

dates

lamb and chicken kababs

shawarmas

baked foods instead of fried foods like baked lamb and rice

less spices and curry

less frying and more baking


They also like baklava sweet pastries.

Da'wah and food is a good way to unite people.

Besides that, man. Ramadhans over. Eat!

We don't like very spicy foods, usually some grilled meat, salads, vegetable or chicken soups... average stuff.

I've been told that Palestinian food, especially from Gaza, tends to be extremely spicy.

whoever told you was pulling your leg

funny story from 2 years ago. i was at iftar at an area masjid/musala . i noticed the imam (palestinian, actually did his hifz in masjid al aqsa), his brother, and a couple other palestinian/jordanian brothers were off in the corner. he saw me and called me over. they were sharing a pot of maqluba and he offered me some (really good stuff). in his words: "i love our bakistani brothers basil, but the sbicyness just gets to me ya rubb, so i brought this from home"

for all the inputs.

Here in India purity of edible olive oil is not guaranteed. And we cannot experiment with our guests, any alternative for the oil.

Few parts of India, they prepare food with mustard oil, coconut oil, sesame oil etc. In other parts of India it is not so liked. Similarly are there any stuffs?
