Khabisa خبيصة | Emirati Dessert | How to make Khabeesa

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan and add 1.5 cups of wheat flour.

Roast the flour on medium flame until it turns light brown and gives a nice aroma.

Sift the roasted flour to lighten it.

In another pan, combine 1 cup of water and 0.5 cups of sugar, and heat on high until the sugar dissolves.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of saffron and 0.5 teaspoons of green cardamom powder to the sugar water.

Melt some ghee and add it to the mixture, stirring to combine.

Transfer the syrup back to the pan with the roasted flour on medium flame.

Gradually add the syrup to the flour while stirring continuously to avoid making it too wet.

Once mixed, add chopped dry fruits (cashews, almonds, walnuts, and optional pistachios).

Cover and cook on low flame for 5-6 minutes.

Turn off the flame and let it cool to room temperature before serving.
