khabeesa ~ Omani Dish

Khabeesa

Khabeesa is a Oman breakfast dish served on eid days{acc. to wiki}. This dish is simple to make & delicious in taste. This is similar to the India puddings like vermicelli payasam, godhsambu payasam or the traditional kheer dish we make. You can get the flavors of cardamoms & rose water in every bite of this dish. Rose water always made me feel unpleasant when used in cooking. Thought this would be the same, but surprisingly I was happy with taste & smell of rose water in it. So below comes the recipe for Khabeesa, enjoy it.

1/2Tsp cardamom powder
1Tbs rose water
Few saffron string

- Mix them well & cook till semolina is cooked perfectly. Switch off heat. 
- Serve warm with cashews on top.
