Can you guess what this is? (CYGWTI #3)


Zahra, one of my Omani colleagues, sent these pretty attractive homemade sweets as Eid-Ul-Fitr gift to us today. So utterly delicious!

We do not know its name, recipe details, etc. I can get you the details hopefully by Sunday.

Meanwhile, can you guess what this is?

    Baklava? which is usually made of chopped nuts, usually walnuts or pistachios, layered with phyllo pastry, sweetened with sugar or honey syrup

    I'd say vermicelli ladoos. Fried and then dipped in sugar syrup to make ladoos??

    The delicious sweet in the pic looks like something made with semia. Are those soft or crunchy? Can't wait to read more about it.

    Is this sweet Borma, or Boremah, or however you spell it - it's filled with pista nuts and honey - a friend brought it from Egypt. Delicious!

    Hmm...my guess would be it is a pudding/halwa sort of thing made with fried vermicelli ?

    Am guessing that it is some vermicelli preparation. Initially it looked like grated carrots to me but once i observed more carefully it definitely appears like vermicelli. May be it includes both carrots , raisins and vermicelli- some kind of halwa.

    It could be Semiya Laddo or some kind of bakalava made with kataifi, shredded phyllo dough.
