KABUL (Pajhwok): Amid hopes for a peaceful year ahead, Kabul markets have become more crowed and colorful and demand for fish, dried fruits and other local food and fruits has increased exactly one week before the Nawroz, the first day of new solar year.
People go to bazaars ahead of Nawroz to purchase dried fruits --- walnut, pistachio, almond, sanjat, raisin --- to prepare its combination called Haft Mewa (seven-fruits). People also purchase fish and sweets to celebrate the new year and serve the guests.
In Afghanistan, it is a tradition that family of groom visits the bride family with gifts . . .
