Uzbek Sweets
Uzbek cuisine boasts not only of meat and bread, but also sweets.
In Uzbekistan you can enjoy fruits and melons at almost any time of year. In late spring, summer and autumn there are juicy seasonal apricots, sweet and sour cherries, apples, plums, peaches, lemons, figs, grapes, pomegranates, quince, persimmons and many varieties of melons. In winter apples, oranges and dried fruits are available. Uzbekistan’s dried melons and apricots, called turshak, are especially delicious.
Sugar-glazed peanuts are often served with tea, but halva remains the most famous of Uzbek sweets. Runners-up include navat (crystal sugar) nishalda, a white, airy mass made from soap root, and khashtak, a sweet made from nuts and dried fruit.
Pashmak is a flour halva woven from hundreds of thin, sweet threads. Bugirsaki (bogirsoki) are sweet pastries prepared for the holidays. (Unlike Kazakh baursak and Kyrgyz boorsok, the Uzbek variety is eaten as a sweet and not a bread).
Parvarda is a candy that melts in your mouth. Kozinaki are nuts molded together with honey or sugar syrup. Baklava is a puff pastry soaked in honey or sugar syrup, and chak-chak are small pieces of dough fried in oil and soaked in honey.
Turkish delight is made from corn flour and sugar syrup, and holvaitar (halvaitar) a dessert made from flour, sugar, water and butter.
Sumalak is a traditional sprouted wheat dish prepared for Navruz (Persian New Year). It should be boiled in a huge cauldron for almost a day while being stirred continuously.
