Custards, festival vermicelli, tea, and yogurt coolers
Afghan desserts range from cardamom-rose milk custard (firni) and Eidβs vermicelli-and-dates pudding (sheer khurma) to crisp gosh-e fil pastries, fruit-and-nut haft mewa for Nowruz, and saffron-rose sheer yakh ice cream. This category lets you showcase both everyday sweets and holiday traditions in one place. Drinks are just as iconic: green or black chai anchors hospitality, sometimes spiced with cardamom; sheer chai (milk tea) is a cozy staple; and dooghβa minty yogurt drinkβrefreshes especially at lunch. Together they pair naturally with Afghan meals and desserts.
