Noghl (also called Nuql or Mlabbas) is a traditional sweet treat. It's a type of confectionery that is very popular in countries like Iran, Afghanistan, and Syria. Think of it as a delicious, sugar-coated almond or other nut.
What is Noghl?
Noghl is made by taking roasted almonds and coating them in a sweet syrup. This syrup is created by boiling sugar with water and a special ingredient called rose water. Rose water gives Noghl its unique and fragrant taste.
Sometimes, instead of almonds, other nuts like walnuts are used. This sweet candy is often enjoyed with a warm cup of tea, especially in Iran and Afghanistan.
Noghl in Weddings
Noghl plays a very important role in wedding celebrations in Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan. These weddings often follow ancient traditions that have been passed down for many years.
As part of the wedding party, a large and beautiful spread of food is prepared at the bride's home. This feast includes many different pastries and sweets. Noghl is almost always one of these special treats. The groom usually pays for these delicious sweets.
In many parts of Iran and Afghanistan, there's a fun tradition. Noghl is showered over the bride and groom during the wedding ceremony. It's a lot like how people in Western countries throw confetti to celebrate. It's a way to wish the happy couple good luck and a sweet future!
