Kdaameh, also known as chickpea noghl (lablabi şekeri or mlabas chickpeas), are the Middle Eastern version of dragées: Sugar-coated roasted chickpeas tinted in a variety of colors.
Iraqi and Persian Jews serve kdaameh during celebrations such as engagements, births, and the inauguration of a new Torah, while Palestinians eat them yearround, especially during the month of Ramadan.
