Notes
- •Shirin means "sweet" in Kurdish. Shirini is a dessert commonly made with milk, dates, cashews, cardamom, and butter.
- •Food Safety Tips: Always wash squash, melons, or gourds even if the rind is not to be used. When cut, dirt and microorganisms on the outside could transfer inside to the flesh.
