Chebakia is one of the most in-demand Moroccan pastries during the month of Ramadan. It is made from strips of spiced dough, deep fried, and then dipped in honey and covered in toasted sesame seeds.
Chebakia is usually served alongside harira soup, which is made of chickpeas, lentils, tomatoes, and lots of spices.

After the crescent moon sighting on Wednesday evening, Morocco announced Thursday, March 23 as the first day of Ramadan 2023.
Ramadan is a month that provides Muslims prosperity and peace; it is a period of spiritual discipline during which people strive to do more good deeds, increase charity, and re-read the Quran.
Ramadan is mandatory for adult Muslims. Individuals with long-term illnesses and other health issues as well as elderly people and pregnant women are exempt from fasting.
Muslims across the world fast for 29 or 30 days abstaining from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset.
Ramadan concludes with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a holiday dedicated to quality time with family members and loved ones. It also marks the return to a normal eating schedule.
