Genuine licorice candy is made with corn flour(starch) and would not be haraam. I know a few brands here in the States use Wheat flour. However, those seem to have a pasty flavor. The old Licorice "Pipes" that were popular when I was a kid were made with wheat flour, they tasted a little funny, but were cheaper than the "real" licorice.

I believe you can make it at home:

Licorice Candy
Treat your family to some yummy Licorice Candy. It can even help with cold and flu symptoms!

* Equal parts Ground Licorice Root and Ground Anise Root
* Molasses
* Brown and/or White flour



There are no exact measurements as this recipe is made up and changes to taste. Feel free to experiment.

Warm up about 1 cup of molasses. Add approx 1 tsp each Licorice and Anise root, or to taste. Add flour till you have a consistency you can roll into tubes. Too much brown flour will give it a bitter taste. I add the brown flour for a healthier treat. Cut tubes into desired length. Can roll in icing sugar for a prettier look if desired. Let cool and candy will harden. This candy is delicious and has the true Licorice flavor

LoL I know what you mean.

Here it is. Sheikh Albani and Sheikh bin Uthaimeen are from the scholars who say it is okay.


Scroll down a bit and then you will see the lesson which was given by Sheikh Bazmool on a fatwa from Sheikh Albani

Looking at the recipe you posted Uncle Woodrow I think adding some corstarch to the flour would give it a nicer consistency. Like maybe Half white flour and Half Cornstarch/Cornflour. Gotta try it some day, not because i like it, but just for the sake of trying (I'm a cooking addict)

^ OOps, I fixed it now.

I was real doubtful at first too Al-Mu'minah but then after studying it's permissiblity in Dammaj and Princess said that Umm Salamah whilst teaching Buloogh al-Maram also said that Gelatin is okay. And then coming across the Fatwa from Sheikh Albani and Ibn Uthaimeen assured me.

Wallahu A3lam.
 
Jazakallahu Khayr.

Insha Alalh i'll read throw the fawah. So what things that contain gelatin can we eat? All I can think of is sweets :?

Assalamoalaikum

I am looking for a felafil recipe. I get to eat a lot of them in Kuwait but my mother-in-law wants it. I read in one of the threads that a sister was going to post it here. I am waiting:)

Thanks
 
wow..thanks sister..
did any1 up here put humus too? coz felafil n humus is a g8 combination.

Do u know that felafil can also be made with other pulses..other than chick peas? We have green felafils in kwt:)
 
Wa iyyaki sis.

Hmm Falafels can be made from other pulses too? Sidq!? Which ones?

And I don't know whether the recipe for "Hummus" has been posted up.

Maybe you can provide us with that inshaAllah ;)
 
I'l have to find the exact vocabulary words..:)
I know they can be made of mong and channey ki daal in urdu. I shall post humus soon.:)
 
:sl:

Ok InshaAllah, Take your time.

Mong beans (Mung) are also known as Haricots right?

And "channey ki daal " are those gram lentils? .. sorry I don't speak Urdu.

Jazaakillaah khayr for those alternatives. I've gotta try them out inshaAllah. :)
 
^^but let me find the exact recipe for the pulses felafil, I have asked an arab friend to give me one since the last week. Lets hope she sends me soon. And do u know the lebanese Khubus? I mean these all come in a meal: Felafel, Humus, n Lebenani Khubus! I can paste a lebanani khubus recipe too if it is around here.
 
:sl:

^ Lebanese Khubus, Is that like Thin bread the size of our pitas?

If so; yes. But I've never tried them out before. I only know how to make Khubz the Yemeni way. But I'm guessing that the Yemeni one's (being more or less the same thing) or bigger in size!.. waaay bigger.

Do you have any recipes for the Kuwaitiy Khubz? or any other types.

I found this link on different recipes for Hummus, Check it out inshaAllah:

Hummus

mmm..Hummus ROCKZ!! :statisfie

wow sister,,,that's a whole lot of Humus types. I didn't know Italians ate humus:)...kinda funny..jelapeno humus.

Well the humus my mom makes is like

1.Grinds the chick peas, that r soaked n boiled in water [previously.
2. Add a tablesspoon of Taheenah.
3. Add some water to the desired consistency.
4. Add some salt.
5. Garnish it with olive oil, diced cucumber n tomatoes.
6. If u like u can also add green chillies paste .

This is real simple humus . As for the lebanese khubus, they r small - medium sized made of white flour n r white in color.

We don't have kwti khubus but only Lebanese n Irani. Irani Khubus r the brown ones made of brown flour n cooked in stone tandoors or stoves.

:) My cousin makes those vegetables stuffed with minced meet n rice that is a speciality in Arab food. And ""Kuba", another Arab dish made with minced meat n rice and similar to cutlets. And "Warq Ineb", that r grape leaves wound around rice n meat. Wow I love these arab dishes. Did u get all these in yemen too?
