Ramzan, the holy month of fasting for Muslims, ironically but inevitably gets us talking about the delectable goodies served up after the sun sets. In Mumbai, we associate the month with trips to Mohammed Ali Road, where we tuck in dripping-in-oil malpuas or kababs.

What is interesting though is that while many consider this a typical Muslim food, it might not stand true for those in Kolkata or Delhi. According to Delhi-based historian, writer and filmmaker Sohail Hashmi, it is difficult to categorise a certain cuisine as one belonging to Islamic culture.
