This dessert is well-known like baklava in Turkey. It is said that The Prophet Noah invented this pudding when he had only very few after the flood. It is believed that he put whatever he could find and cooked them very slowly for a long time.Thats why this dessert contains so much ingredients. some people add much more things, it is entirely up to you. My mother makes this dessert at a certain time in the year, because it is traditional to cook ashure and share a bowl of ashure with your neighbours. So during that week (generally everyone doesn’t make it on the same day) the door is knocked and a bowl of dessert is served to you.
