Suji / Sooji / Ramadan special Drink / Drink for special occasions

Suji / Soojie / Ramadan pre-dawn drink / drink for special occasions / rava drink / maahefun drink / drink to boost energy after fasting ................................................................................... Suji is a popular drink among Maldivians as a maahefun drink as well as during Ramadan. It is a drink prepared for special occasions. During Ramadan, I normally drink it pre-dawn or late at night after tharaavees prayer to boost up the energy after fasting, or so I believe. Onions in a drink seems like an odd combination, but it goes really well. I used to be skeptical about it when I was younger. But I love it now. It does add great flavor. Try it and let me know if you liked it in the comments. .........................................................................................
