For the
alphabet O we have a choice do it with Oman or OMAN in our Mega Blogging Marathon !!
Come on can
we not have some more countries with O?
Cuisine of
Oman is a mixture of several staples of Asian foods. Food basically revolves around chicken, fish,
and lamb, with rice as the staple
food. Omani food is a rich mixture of spices, herbs and marinades.
Omani
food is different for different regions of Oman but the staple food is curry, cooked meat, rice,
and vegetables.
Soups are also common and are usually made from chicken, lamb, and vegetables (e.g., smoked eggplant). (This I need to check).
So far Oman I could not find any street food
but then somewhere I saw this bread being made. It was a video of some fair and
I loved this bread. I just caught the name Khubz, which is bread in Omani.
I searched
and was lucky to find the Times of Oman featuring the bread called QuroosAsal
I quote here
what Ms.S. Kamal has said in her write up,”
Quroos, which means circle in Arabic language, is a bread baked by many tribal
people to celebrate the birth of a child in the family. She said that many
people in Oman as well as the Gulf mark the festive event by making the honey
bread.”
But the
actual recipe I got here .
Loved it so
much that I had to make it. The original recipe said use maida but I used whole
wheat flour. I scaled down the recipe to get only two of these beauties. As you
can see I need some practice before I get the perfect smooth layer. But that is
for later.
Needless to
say these were done in a hurry and were finished by yours faithfully for breakfast( but will taste yum with any curry) as I did
not expect a warm reception from the family,for they seemed like Neer Dosa only
made from wheat flour!!
Later when
Apeksha, my elder one asked me what I am making for O I mentioned that I had
finished making O!
“How did I not
get a taste? When was this? Where was I?” She will make a great Police
Inspector, I know!!
My sheepish
replies did not satisfy her. Needless to say I need to make them again.
