The biggest holiday in Uzbekistan is Navruz. This holiday appeared in Khorasan, more than 3 thousand years ago, and the date for it was not chosen by chance. On this day, March 21, day is equal to night, which symbolizes the beginning of a new astronomical year. Preparation for the holiday is full of ancient rituals and ceremonies, and the most delicious of them is sumalak! All relatives usually gather for this dish and during the night before the holiday women sit around a huge cauldron, have fun, sing songs and take turns interfering with this ritual dish of wheat germ. In the morning, it is customary to share with all friends and relatives this unique in taste and very satisfying dish. They say that before you start eating sumalak, you need to make a wish and it will certainly come true!
