Qamar Al Deen literally means Moon of the Religion. It is basically dried form of Apricots made into a sheet or a roll commonly known as Apricot Leather. It has a lovely texture and a peculiar aroma. In Arab cuisine this is made into an amazing Juice and relished in the Holy Month of Ramadan. It originates from Syria where the variety used for Qamar Al Deen was grown for the first time. This drink is enjoyed in Middle East, North Africa as well as in Somalia.
But to date, Qamar Al Deen from Syria is still considered the best because the variety of Apricots used for making this Apricot Leather is grown only in Syria and South Western Turkey.
In Iran, it is known as Lavashak and extensively relished as a dried Fruit Roll. It's a great drink and tastes absolutely delicious. Fresh Juice is different from this in many aspects and both have their own different tastes and flavours. It's available in every small grocery shop in the Middle East. For people staying there, it's absolutely easy and can be made and relished on any given day.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
