Shorgoghal () or goghal is a traditional Azerbaijani pastry in a round shape filled with anise or fennel seed, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, salt and pepper. It is mainly prepared for Nowruz in Azerbaijan along with pakhlava and shekerbura.
== About == Goghal is a round, flaky pastry with bright yellow top layer. It is mainly filled with a mixture of spices (called shorgoghal) or with sugar and nuts (called shirin goghal). Like other pastries prepared for Nowruz in Azerbaijan, shorgoghal has a solar symbolism, its round shape and cheerful yellow colour inspired by the sun.
