Frequently Asked Questions About Thick Ashure
What is thick ashure made of?
Thick ashure is usually made with wheat, legumes such as chickpeas or beans, dried fruit, nuts, and sugar. The exact ingredients vary between households and regions, so there is no single fixed recipe.
Why is thick ashure called Noah’s pudding?
Thick ashure is often nicknamed Noah’s pudding because of a popular story that Noah made a dish from the remaining provisions on his ark. The story is a cultural legend, not a verified account of the dessert’s history.
How do you make thick ashure?
Thick ashure is made by cooking soaked wheat until tender, then simmering it with cooked legumes, dried fruit, sugar, and other ingredients. The grains and fruit soften and release starch as the mixture cooks, helping create its characteristic thick texture.
How can you make thick ashure thicker?
To thicken ashure, simmer it uncovered so excess liquid evaporates, or mash some of the cooked wheat and stir it back in. Remember that thick ashure firms up further as it cools, so avoid reducing it too much while hot.
How long does thick ashure last in the fridge?
Thick ashure generally keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Chill it promptly after serving, and use a clean spoon when taking portions to help prevent contamination.
Can you freeze thick ashure?
Yes, you can freeze thick ashure, although its texture may become softer or slightly uneven after thawing. Freeze it in individual portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and stir well before serving.
Is thick ashure served hot or cold?
Thick ashure is most often served cold or at room temperature. Cooling helps it set, and some people garnish each bowl just before serving with nuts, cinnamon, or fruit.
What is the story behind making thick ashure in Muharram?
Thick ashure is closely associated with Muharram, when many Turkish households prepare it to share with neighbors and relatives. The practice centers on remembrance and generosity, though the timing and customs differ among communities.
What toppings go well with thick ashure?
Pomegranate seeds, cinnamon, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and sesame are common toppings for thick ashure. Add crunchy nuts shortly before serving so they do not soften in the moist dessert.
Can people with diabetes eat thick ashure?
People with diabetes can include thick ashure only if its carbohydrates and added sugar fit their individual meal plan; dried fruit also contributes sweetness. Portion needs vary, so ask your doctor or dietitian for personal guidance.

What is Thick Ashure?
Thick Ashure is a traditional Turkish and Anatolian pudding made by simmering wheat with legumes, dried fruit, nuts and sugar. The grains and fruit soften as they cook, giving it a dense, spoonable texture; recipes vary between households and regions.
It is usually served in a bowl, chilled or at room temperature, often finished with cinnamon, pomegranate seeds or extra nuts. In Turkey, ashure is especially associated with Muharram and is commonly shared with neighbours and friends. Wheat, pulses and fruit contribute carbohydrates and some fibre, while sugar makes it a substantial sweet rather than a light snack. For a less-sweet version, reduce the sugar and loosen the consistency with water instead.
