Families compete to cook the best Ashura pudding. There is an Egyptian tradition, by which people exchange Ashura puddings and taste them to decide who cooked the best one that year.
Some wheat grain, corn flour, butter, sugar and two cups of milk is all Samira Hussein needs for a happy Ashura day. 
Today, the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic lunar calendar, Egyptians are busy distributing sweet dishes of Ashura to neighbours and relatives, after a long day of fasting.
'We cook a delicious Iftar (meal to break the fast) and invite friends and family members for a Ashura dish, so it's a social occasion'
Ashura was more than a socially-celebrated dish.
According to the legend the sweet dish with white kidney beans, came from the prophet Noah. When the waters of the great flood began to recede, Noah and his family are said to have gathered up all the food remaining on the ark and transformed it into a delicious pudding
I ask  that fasting on the day of Ashura may atone for the sins of the preceding year.

Ramadan’s Drinks
Sweetened Karkadey (hibiscus rose petals), Kharoub (Carob Juice), (Doum Tamar تمر حلال)  (Sahlab سحلب حراز)   are the prevalent drinks found at most hotels and coffee shops during Ramadan in Egypt. They are all thirst quenchers and contain a horde of vitamins.

Tamr Doum has to be one of the most common drinks at any Iftar table around Egypt. Some even mix it with Karakadeh (Hibiscus) making for a delicious, thirst quenching drink. But, you probably already know all that, what you may not know, however, is how it all started. How did this drink become a staple at any Iftar table? How did it become one of Ramadan’s signature drinks? Well, today we are going to give you an answer to these questions.

Originating from India, as indicated by its name, the tamarind plant can also be found in Tropical Eastern Africa. But how did it reach us here in Egypt? 

According to various reports, the relation between Tamr Doum and Ramadan came about during the Mamluk era, as they used the plant to create the Tamr Doum drink as a substitute for alcohol at Iftar, due to its great effect in quenching thirst. By this time, the farmers of Egypt started planting it, and it quickly became a staple of Egyptian Ramadan drinks.
