Cinnamon Zone

World from a different angle

Another thing I love about newborns

You get to overdose on cinnamon!

 

 
Seriuosly, why do they make this carum pudding only when someone's is born? I learned that it's good for mothers who have just given birth, that's why it's become a habit to make it when someone gives birth.
 
The last time I had carum before yesterday, as far as I remember, was some 15 years ago. I don't remember whose house it was or who had given birth to whom. I remember carrying a cup of carum and goign out of a black door, then bumping into my cousin, and spilling the pudding on my clothes. Not a very tender thign to remember :D Anyway, it's really good, especially with sprinkles of coconut... I'm really happy we still have pregnant women in the family :D

i dont know if i ate this before ... mom makes sth called Karawya (كراوية) its looks like it and i think it has cinnamon too ... and when a woman from the people of our region of origin (Jeneen) gives birth , they serve cinnamon boiled like tea with nuts on top ... they call it Enar (إينر) ...

and thats all i have to say abt that :)

Yes Isam it's karaywah! I thought the English name was caraway but I thought I remembered it wrong because it's too similar to Arabic... the latine name sucks I should've trusted my memory more with this :D

I know Enar too, my aunt makes it in winter, whether someone's born or not :D ishi bezahhe2, we can't wait 9 months each time we want to have a double does of cinnamon!
