Warq

Warq

Warq or varak is a silver foil used to garnish food in India, especially on Indian sweets. On Formal occasions, the food is garnished with warq.

Warq is a one-110,000th of a millimetre thick sheet of gold and silver used sparingly, though thoughtfully, in North Indian cuisine and Pan-Indian medicines. Though it does not contribute to the taste. In the courts of the Nawabs of Awadh, warq was used to bedeck elaborate dishes combined with saffron, pista and almonds.
