 Today was the last day of Ramadan, so I woke up early in the morning. I finished my daily routine. I cleaned and did some laundry. After my break, I cooked my daughter's favourite dish. I baked spicy tofu and boiled some basmati rice for supper.  I will share both recipes with you.

Boiled Basmati rice
