Overview
About Ajil-e Shirin (Sweet)
Ajil-e shirin is the sweet counterpart to salted ajil, and for many Iranians it is the taste of Nowruz. Ours combines sun-dried white mulberries, golden raisins from Malayer, dried figs from Estahban, noghl (sugar-coated almond slivers) from Urmia, and raw pistachios and almonds.
Nothing is roasted or salted: just sweet, chewy fruit and creamy raw nuts, with the occasional festive crunch of noghl. It is a lovely partner to black tea — and lighter than a plate of pastries on a celebration table.

Vineyards and golden raisins
Malayer is one of Iran’s great grape towns. Its seedless grapes are sun-dried or briefly dipped and shade-dried to make the plump golden and green raisins that fill every bowl of ajil-e shirin.

What is noghl?
Slivers of almond slowly tumbled in sugar syrup until coated in a bumpy white shell — a speciality of Urmia, served at weddings and Nowruz.
Is it very sweet?
Pleasantly. Most of the sweetness comes from the fruit; noghl is only a small part of the mix.
What is in Persian ajil?
Salted ajil (ajil-e shoor) usually contains roasted pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, roasted chickpeas, pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds. Sweet ajil (ajil-e shirin) contains dried white mulberries, raisins, dried figs, noghl (sugared almond slivers), raw almonds and pistachios.
What is ajil-e moshkel-gosha?
Literally “problem-solving ajil”: a sweet mix traditionally made for Chaharshanbe Suri and shared with family and neighbours, in the belief that it helps wishes come true. It typically has seven ingredients.
