Description
The word mangal is derived from the Arabic word manqal (????) meaning "portable" and originally referred to portable indoors heaters mostly replaced by Western-type stoves.
A mangal is typically used to grill various cuts of meat, such as steak, hamburgers, kebab, shashlik, chicken wings and chicken breasts. Roasted vegetables, salads and other cold foods accompany the meal. In Turkey, ?algam or ayran are common drinks during mangal parties as well as rak?. Mangal also refers to the social gathering of family or friends in gardens or picnic areas, similar to the South African braai.
In Israel, holding a mangal is traditional on Israel Independence Day and the intermediate days of Passover.
