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 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.”

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!!
