Hi Dimah
Thanks for the lovely blog and all the great recipes.
I never heard on Noque’iyeh! It sounds very interesting. I was looking for other ways to use Qammruddin.
How do you make it? Are you planning to post a recipe?
Kano: Many thanks for your kind words!
Inshallah I’ll post the recipe soon :)
You can also use boiled water to dissolve it faster.
Sarah: yes, I know that :)
