IPOH: The India Muslim Mosque in Ipoh has resumed the tradition of distributing its famous mutton bubur lambuk or a savoury porridge to local residents during Ramadan after the activity was restricted last year due to the spread of COVID-19.
Cook Mustafha Kamal Varusai Mohamad, 75, said the team would start to prepare the ingredients as early as 8 am to ensure that eight large pots of the special treat are ready by Zohor prayers.
“The mosque will begin distributing the porridge at 4 pm and the public are required to bring their own food containers,” he told reporters at the mosque today.
He said this has been the tradition practised by the 100-year-old mosque during Ramadan for the past 80 years.
To make the porridge tasty, Mustafha Kamal Varusai said a total of 16 spices were used in cooking the dish with three kilogrammes of mutton allocated for each pot, along with other ingredients such as coriander, mint and pandan leaves. –Bernama
