Halwa

Omani halwa (sweet) is famous at home and abroad as a symbol of traditional Omani hospitality. It is usually served in Omani homes before drinking Arabic Coffee.

The Main ingredients which go into the making of halwa are: starch, eggs, sugar, water, ghee, saffron, cardamom, nuts and rose water from the Jebel al Akdhar. The ingredients are mixed in proportions and quantities known only to skilled halwa maker and cooked in mirjal (large cooking pot used especially for halwa) for a time of not less than 2 hours.

The cooking can be done over a gas or electric sove, but the perfected method is over a wood fire made up of samr wood, known for its durability, smoke and odour free properties.

After cooking, the Halwa can be preserved for more than four months without losing its quality and without the need for refrigeration or preserving agents.
