Omani Khabeesa -- Farina or 'Cream of Wheat' image

When I discovered how few recipes representing Oman were on the site, I went searching. The NA/ME Forum will be spending January 2013 exploring the country & here is my culinary contribution. **2 of 3 people LOVED this! It took awhile for it all to come to a boil & from there I simmered 5 minutes. It thickened upon standing. Enjoy!**

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute the almonds with another ingredient. The dish still turned out great.

This recipe is way too complicated. There are too many ingredients and steps involved.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish turned out too dry. I think I should have added more liquid.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I found this dish to be bland and unappetizing.
