The popular Ramadan dessert named after gazelle horns

Ramadan is a festival observed annually by Muslims worldwide. This celebration takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and lasts between 29 and 30 days. During this time, the faithful abstain from food and drink from dawn until dusk. This practice is believed to help people feel closer to God, demonstrate unwavering self-control, and express empathy for those in need.
