interesting .... never knew gulf coffee had saffron in it. is it just typical of saudi arabia or the whole area? (i.e.: uae, etc.)
Hi burekaboy,
Saffron is one of the ingredients that characterize the Gulf region(Saudi Arabia,Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman,and Kuwait).
the gulf coffee is different than arabic coffee.
try to make it and tell me what you think?
zainab
hi zainab, i will give it a try for sure and let you know - it sounds so different from the reg arabic coffee. i was just surprised because my close friends are from dubai (but lebanese) and i've never seen this made by them over the years. oh yeah, what type is 'gulf coffee'?
The different between arabic coffee and gulf coffee is in the coffee beans.
arabic coffee in Lebanon and Syria
they dark roasted coffee beans Which effect both (color and flavor)I think it similar to turkish coffee.
gulf coffee we roasted coffee beans until Golden light and grind it with cardamom pods and saffron.and made it with cardamom,saffron and rosewater Which Give the coffee yellow color.

thanks for the explanation. i'd never have known.
As Salamu 3alaikum ladies
I truly enjoy your site. Both of you do an awsome job of explaining and illistrating on how to make these dishes. It would be great if you could show how to make mhendi, lahma and dajaj. I know this could be a huge task but I am dieing to learn how to do this. Ever since I've eaten it in the khaleej I'm hooked and miss it so much. Also, what kind of coffee beans do you use and how do you roast them yourself for saudi and emirati qahwah? (temperature in oven and how long?)
Jazackum Allahu Khair

asssalaamu alaikum, i love ur website and the recipes on them. reminds me of the things i used to eat when i was little. i have a question about the gahwa. do u happen to know what kind of bean it is and from what country. i'm here in the US and they don't have gahwa where i'm at. also do u happen to know of any brands that might be sold over here or where i can order them from online. Jazakallah Khair.
