Mohalla

Khobz Mohalla holds within it the flavours of the past, reflecting the community's deep connection to its original traditions and culture. It is one of the most prominent traditional local dishes, known for its rich taste and soft texture, and symbolises Emirati hospitality and generosity. It is served during social occasions and holidays and is made from simple, readily available ingredients such as flour, saffron, cardamom, and water. The preparation involves mixing flour with water and salt, then adding saffron and cardamom for a distinctive flavour. The mixture is left aside for some time to ferment slightly, then poured into a hot pan in thin circles resembling pancakes. It is cooked over medium heat until golden on both sides and is usually served with honey or date syrup. The dish can be enjoyed as a breakfast meal or a light snack throughout the day.
