Making Ramadan Special in the UAE with Martoo Essentials


The arrival of the Holy Month of Ramadan in the UAE is a time of profound spiritual reflection, community, and, of course, the cherished traditions of Iftar and Suhoor. As families across the Emirates gather to break their fast, the kitchen becomes the heart of the home. Preparing nutritious, delicious, and traditional meals requires the finest ingredients—and that is where Martoo comes in.



To help you navigate your culinary journey this season, we’ve curated a guide on Making Ramadan Special in the UAE with Martoo Essentials. From creamy desserts to savory bakes, here is how you can use our premium dairy and pantry staples to elevate your Ramadan table.

The Importance of Quality Dairy in Ramadan Traditions

In the UAE, dairy is more than just an ingredient; it is a cornerstone of the Ramadan diet. Whether it’s a refreshing glass of Laban to break the fast or a rich béchamel sauce for a comforting pasta dish, the quality of your dairy products dictates the flavor of your feast.

At Martoo, we understand the local palate. We’ve selected top-tier brands like Almarai, Puck, and KDD to ensure your recipes are authentic and soul-warming.

Refreshing Drinks for Iftar and Suhoor

Hydration is key during the long fasting hours. While water is essential, traditional milk-based drinks provide necessary electrolytes and a touch of sweetness.

1. Almarai Flavoured Milk Alphonso Mango

Looking for a tropical twist to your Iftar? The Almarai Flavoured Milk Alphonso Mango is a crowd-pleaser, especially for children. It combines the richness of high-quality milk with the "King of Mangoes." It’s an instant energy booster that feels like a treat after a long day of fasting.

2. Safa Laban Up & Meliha Fresh Organic Laban

No UAE Iftar table is complete without Laban.

  • Safa Laban Up: A classic, salty, and refreshing drink that aids digestion.

  • Meliha Fresh Organic Laban: For those seeking a premium, organic option, Meliha provides a clean, farm-fresh taste that pairs perfectly with dates.

Elevating Your Savory Dishes: The Secret to Perfect Bakes

Ramadan in the UAE often features "Macarona Béchamel" or creamy vegetable gratins. Achieving that velvety texture requires the right base.

3. Puck Bechamel Sauce With Cheese

If you are short on time but refuse to compromise on taste, Puck Bechamel Sauce With Cheese is a lifesaver. It’s pre-mixed with the perfect hint of cheese, ensuring your gratins are bubbly, golden, and rich every single time.

4. KDD Creamy Bechamel Sauce

For a more traditional, smooth profile, KDD Creamy Bechamel Sauce is a staple in many Gulf households. Its consistent texture makes it ideal for layering in lasagnas or drizzling over roasted cauliflower.

5. Elle & Vire UHT Cooking Cream

For professional-grade sauces and soups (like a classic Mushroom or Lentil cream soup), Elle & Vire UHT Cooking Cream is the gold standard. Its high fat content ensures it doesn't curdle under high heat, giving your savory dishes a French-inspired finesse.

Essential Bases: Yoghurt and Cream

Yoghurt is incredibly versatile during Ramadan, used in marinades, side salads (like Fattoush or Cucumber-Yoghurt salad), and even desserts.

6. Almarai Fresh Yoghurt (Full Cream & Vetal)

7. Almarai Thick Cream Analogue

This is the ultimate topping for your "Qatayef" or "Harees." Its thick consistency makes it an excellent substitute for traditional clotted cream, adding a luxurious mouthfeel to your appetizers.

Sweet Endings: Ramadan Desserts

A Ramadan evening isn't complete without a touch of sweetness. Whether you are making "Umm Ali" or a fruit trifle, the topping is what defines the dish.

8. Dream Whip Whipped Topping Mix

Dream Whip is a nostalgic favorite in the UAE. It’s light, fluffy, and holds its shape beautifully. Use it to top your fruit salads or as a light layer in a biscuit pudding. It’s the perfect way of Making Ramadan Special in the UAE with Martoo Essentials, providing that airy finish to a heavy meal.
